This specimen was lot 675 in Aureo sale 261 (Barcelona, July 2014), where it sold for €300 (about US$481 with buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, <blockquote>"''1858. Isabel II. Madrid. 100 reales. Escasa. MBC+/EBC-.'' (Isabel II, 1833-68, hundred reales of 1858, Madrid mint, scarce, very fine to extremely fine.)"</blockquote> This type was struck 1856-62 at Seville, Madrid (shown here) and Barcelona. Instead of the traditional mintmarks the issues are distinguished by six, seven or eight pointed stars on the reverse (for Madrid, Seville and Barcelona). In 1850, the twenty reales was reduced to 26.91 grams and the copper maravedis dropped in favor of 1/20, 1/10 and 1/5 reales. Unfortunately, the government, financially prostrate as usual, was unable to remint the old coins, which continued to circulate as before. The coinage would be reformed a second time in 1866.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown but a better date.

''Specification:'' 8.33 g, .900 fine gold, .241 troy oz AGW.

''Catalog reference:'' [[Spanish and Spanish colonial coins listed by Cayón number|Cayón-17374]], Cal. 23, KM 605.2.
