Designated as KM# 806, this circulated coin represents a key era of Spanish numismatic history during the transition to democracy. The coin is housed in a protective 2x2 cardboard flip with handwritten identification markings including the star date and catalog number. 1975 Spain 1 Peseta Juan Carlos I Copper-Nickel Coin Star 79 KM# 806 Condition: The coin appears to be in circulated condition, displaying noticeable surface wear, small scratches, and significant toning or environmental discoloration on both the obverse and reverse.
