Denomination and Material:
The coin is a 5 Pesetas denomination and is made of .900 silver, as indicated by the "LEY 900 MILESIMAS" inscription.
Historical Context:
This coin was minted during a significant transitional period in Spanish history, following the Glorious Revolution that overthrew Queen Isabella II and preceding the inauguration of King Amadeo I.
Design Elements:
The reverse of the coin features the Spanish coat of arms, and the inscription "5 PESETAS" clearly states its value.
Origin of "Peseta":
The term "peseta" itself derives from the Catalan word "peceta," meaning "little piece," and was known colloquially even before its official adoption as currency.
