This coin, issued in the later years of the Franco regime (1939-75), is a descendant of the [[Spain 1891-PG M peseta (91)|silver peseta]] issued in the late nineteenth century. This denomination was first issued in aluminum bronze in 1944 (KM 767) and featured a younger, pudgier portrait of Franco in 1948-67 (KM 775). This type was issued 1967-75 in large quantities. Although the coin is dated 1966, the true minting date is incuse in the stars on the reverse, where a tiny "70" can be spied. Spain was the only country to do this and abandoned this clumsy system after 1982, during the reign of Juan Carlos.

This coin, issued in the later years of the Franco regime (1939-75), is a descendant of the silver peseta issued in the late nineteenth century. This denomination was first issued in aluminum bronze in 1944 (KM 767) and featured a younger, pudgier portrait of Franco in 1948-67 (KM 775). This type was issued 1967-75 in large quantities. Although the coin is dated 1966, the true minting date is incuse in the stars on the reverse, where a tiny "70" can be spied. Spain was the only country to do this and abandoned this clumsy system after 1982, during the reign of Juan Carlos.
