Message:: [QUOTE="satootoko, post: 8827, member: 669"]Puhleeeez guys, if you can't include pictures in your inquiry posts, at least tell us as much as you can about the size, denomination, and apparent metal of the coin you are inquiring about. From 1958 through 1975, more than 1-billion 5 peseta coins (KM#786), 300-million 25 peseta coins (KM#787), and 60-million 50 peseta coins (KM#788) were minted  in Spain with the 1957 date! The last two digits of the actual year of minting are in the tiny six-pointed stars on the reverse. They are all cu-ni with a bust of Franco facing right and a design incorporating an eagle and the denomination (in "PTAS") on the reverse. In the 2003 Krause they range in value from <10¢ to $650, depending on denomination, date, grade, and quality of the strike.  There were some very poorly struck 5 pesetas from 1958-68.  Some of the coins actually minted in 1958 are marked "BA" instead of a year in the stars (which, by the way, are the mark for the Madrid mint).[/QUOTE]
