 Why this is a smart buy

• Historic significance: Struck under Alfonso XII (1875–1885) during Spain’s Bourbon Restoration—key era for peseta-denominated coinage.

• Large, display-ready module: 30 mm bronze planchet shows details and patina beautifully; great for educational displays and type sets.

• Scarcity in better grades: While 56,313,000 were minted, decades of heavy circulation mean problem-free higher-grade examples are far scarcer than the mintage suggests.

• Variety interest: The “1879-OM / Barcelona” attribution is collected by date/mint/mark specialists within the KM#675 series.

• Budget-friendly entry: A genuine 19th-century Spanish coin that offers strong historical appeal without the premium of silver issues—an easy on-ramp for new collectors.

• Potential appreciation: Continued absorption into collections + attrition of nice pieces can support steady numismatic demand over time.
