<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1654501, member: 39&quot;]The coin was minted in 1980, and back in those years (until about 30 years ago) Spain used a &quot;dual date&quot; system on its coins. The year underneath the king&#039;s portrait (four digits) is the authorization date, the year in the star (two digits) is the year when the coin was minted. Yours is from (19)80; others have (19)81 or (19)82.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1982 the Football World Cup was in Spain; that is why it says &quot;España &#039;82&quot; and shows a ball and a globe. This was a circulating commemorative coin referring to the Cup. If you wanted to get that coin redeemed in Spain, the central bank would give you 3 cent for it; it&#039;s worth €0.03 in today&#039;s money. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; A collector may be willing to pay a little more ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
