This Spanish one centimo was part of the third decimal reform of 1870. By the reform of 1870, the revolutionary government adopted the standard of the Latin Monetary Union, where one peseta = one French franc and five pesetas = 25 g of silver, 0.900 fine. The peseta remained in use (tho it ceased to be silver in the 1930's) until the adoption of the euro in 2001. This type was struck 1911-13 in large numbers yet the 1911 is rare in nice condition.
