Alfonso XIII 5 Pesetas 1895(95) PG-V SP62 NGC, Madrid mint, KM707, Cal-105 (RRR, this coin). First year of issue. The ultimate rarity of Alfonso XIII's 5 Pesetas. A piece which needs no introduction, since it's the one used by Calico to represent the issue, and shows with clarity its presentation purposes. Underneath the pleasing patina, infused with deep cobalt-cerulean hues amidst the slate color, one can appreciate the high-glossy fields, a Proof characteristic seen in pieces struck with care and with prepared planchettes. Though listed as RRR, it was offered as "the only known example" when sold by Aureo & Calico. A must for both Spanish Numismatics and also trophy coin collectors. Ex.
