Spain 1870 Contemporary Counterfeit 2 Pesetas
Offered is an unusual cast circulating counterfeit 2 Peseta coin, as KM#654. This underweight piece appears to have been produced from a debased silver alloy, and does not have a reeded edge. Otherwise, it is a sophisticated imitation, and could easily have deceived in a hurried transaction, or dupe someone not familiar with the circulating specie of the time (indeed, this piece probably sought to capitalize on the sudden change to republican coinage following the revolution).
