An exciting hobby
Coin collecting is a passion shared by many people. Lovers of numismatics dedicate a large part of their lives to this hobby, as it is not easy to find the most desired specimens. The dedication and effort that this discipline requires is enormous, but the satisfaction of finding such a precious piece is indescribable.
The value of coins
Coins can increase in value over time. Even those that have a low initial price can become highly traded assets. There are several factors that can increase the value of a coin, such as mintage errors, market scarcity, its uniqueness, or the reason it was issued.
Pesetas and their value
Pesetas also play an essential role in the world of collecting. Although they ceased to be legal tender in Spain in 2002, there are still a large majority of pesetas kept in citizens’ drawers. Some of these pesetas can reach an unimaginable value, depending on their state of preservation and other factors mentioned above.
The 5 pesetas coin of 1869
Within the world of coin collecting, there is one piece that stands out above the rest: the 5 pesetas coin from 1869. This coin, designed by Luis Marchonni, is one of the most sought after by collectors. Auction houses and buying and selling portals have come to offer up to 40,000 euros for this very special piece. The final price depends on its state of preservation and its brightness.
A passion that evokes past times
Coins are objects that evoke past times and that collect stories and memories. Many people fight to have them in their collection and enjoy a unique piece. If you have a special coin at home, don’t hesitate to have it appraised by a professional. It could be a treasure that gives you an amount of money that you never imagined.
