25 Spanish Pesetas coin

25 Spanish Pesetas (Issued 1957)

The 25 pesetas of this type was a higher-value circulating coin of the Spanish Peseta under the government of General Franco. Struck in cupro-nickel with a bright silvery finish, it had a solid, substantial feel and a plain edge, and was widely used for larger everyday payments in mid-century Spain. The coin was minted over several years bearing the 1957 date with a small star marking the year of striking.

On the obverse, the coin carries the bare-headed bust of Francisco Franco facing right, surrounded by the legend “FRANCISCO FRANCO CAUDILLO DE ESPAÑA POR LA G. DE DIOS” with the date “1957” at the foot, within a beaded border.

On the reverse, the large denomination “25 PTAS” fills the upper field above the Spanish coat of arms, backed by the great eagle of Saint John and flanked by the Pillars of Hercules with the motto “PLUS ULTRA”. A ribbon carries the motto “UNA GRANDE LIBRE”, with the yoke and arrows emblem beside the arms.
