The Spanish 5 Pesetas Silver Coin, commonly known as the "duro," holds significant importance in Spanish numismatic history.
The Spanish Duro was minted from 1869 until 1933 and was in regular circulation during the reigns of multiple monarchs and into the establishment of the Second Republic.
Several locations minted Spanish 5 Pesetas coins, with the mint mark on the reverse near the date.
Madrid (M) | The most common mint mark, as Madrid was the primary minting location for these coins. |
Barcelona (*) | Less common, with specific years and mintages being more scarce. |
Seville (S) | Somewhat rare and more valuable. |
Some varieties are more desirable to collectors.
The coins with the highest mintage were produced by the Madrid Mint in 1875, 1876, and 1892. These coins are more commonly found and may sell for a slightly higher price than their melt value. On the other hand, coins from Seville or those minted in low mintage years can be much more valuable.
The worth of a Spanish 5 Pesetas Silver Coin can range from its silver melt value to a few hundred dollars depending on condition and rarity. Here is a general estimate of the value based on grades for common-date coins:
Good (G) | $20-40 |
Fine (F) | $40-60 |
Extremely Fine (XF) | $60-100 |
About Uncirculated (AU) | $100-150 |
Brilliant Uncirculated (BU/MS) | $150-300 |
