Online Coin Auction #80

PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. 25 Thousandths of Escudo (Ae. 6.69g/25mm). 1868. Segovia. Good Extremely Fine. Beautiful original shine. Scarce and more in this quality.

It is difficult to find a coin with as many details, contradictions and symbolic and historical charge as these 25 Thousandths of Escudo. To begin with, it is the first coin minted by the Provisional Government; none of its other coins is dated 1868, the great production begins a year later, in 1869. But this example is also the end of something: it is the last coin minted in the emblematic mint of Segovia. It is also a coin that comes to commemorate La Gloriosa, that is, the revolution that threw Elizabeth II out of the country, but at the same time it uses the Elizabethan metric system (banned months later after the imposition of the Peseta as the official monetary system). Finally, add that we are dealing with a coin, since it has face value, but it is considered a commemorative medal of the political change that took place and of which none of the ten thousand pieces that were minted barely made it into circulation.
