<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ladycat, post: 1894344, member: 68837&quot;]I have got a couple of 500 pesetas coins (Spain), both dated 1989.</p><p>Although appearing as the common &#039;500 pesetas&#039; coin, at a closer look one (left side in the picture) shows tiny differences in the faces of both king and queen (in particular, king&#039;s mouth, nose and chin show little differences from standard). I have checked several numismatic websites and found no news about these differences. Experts from CoinQuest, who have checked a picture of the unusual coin, confirmed that it looks different, but they have no records of minting errors on this coin. As far as they know, the image of the royal couple was changed only a few years later. Does anyone know if this error has been encountered in other 500 pesetas coins? Is this a minting error or an early trial of the later change?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
