This Spanish twenty reales was part of the first decimal reform of 1850-64. In 1850, the twenty reales was reduced to 26.91 grams. This having proven unsatisfactory, the coinage was reformed again in 1864. The twenty reales was dropped in favor of a two escudos silver coin, reduced to 25.96 grams. One hundred centimos = one escudo. Instead of the traditional "M" and "S" mintmarks the issues are distinguished by three, four, six, seven or eight pointed stars on the reverse (for Segovia, Jubia, Madrid (shown here), Seville and Barcelona). Unfortunately, the government, financially prostrate as usual, was unable to remint the old coins, which continued to circulate as before.

''Recorded mintage:'' 1,021,000 (a common date).

''Specification:'' 26.91 g, .900 fine silver, .760 troy oz ASW.

''Catalog reference:'' [[Spanish and Spanish colonial coins listed by Cayón number|Cayón-17207]], KM 609.2, [[Silver crowns by Davenport number|Dav-334]].
