The big and "easy" date is a sort of government authorization date; the small one (sometimes two digits in one star, sometimes four in two stars) refers to when the coin was minted. Not all Spanish coins minted in those years - they stopped doing that in 1982 - have such dual dates but most do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
