50 Spanish Pesetas coin

50 Spanish Pesetas (Issued 1957)

The 50 pesetas coin was part of the base-metal coinage struck under the regime of General Franco during the later years of the Spanish State. Minted in a copper-nickel alloy, it was a broad, substantial piece designed for everyday commerce at a time when the peseta was Spain’s sole circulating currency. The coin carries the fixed date 1957, with the true year of striking indicated by a small star stamped into the design, and its edge is reeded.

On the obverse, the coin shows the bare head of Francisco Franco facing right, modelled in high relief. The surrounding legend reads “FRANCISCO FRANCO CAUDILLO DE ESPAÑA POR LA G. DE DIOS”, naming him leader of Spain by the grace of God, with the date “1957” set at the foot between small ornaments.

On the reverse, a large eagle of Saint John spreads its wing behind the crowned Spanish coat of arms, its shield bearing the quartered arms of the historic kingdoms flanked by the Pillars of Hercules with “PLUS ULTRA”. Ribbons carry the motto “UNA GRANDE LIBRE”, while the value “50 PTAS” is inscribed boldly across the upper field.
