Comment
The coins of 1895/1896 were minted at the Casa de Mondea de Madrid (Spain) under Alfonso XIII (Alfonso León Fernando María Jaime Isidro Pascual Antonio de Borbón y Habsburgo-Lorena).Interesting fact
The 1895 Puerto Rican 1 Peso coin made of silver (.900) weighing 25g is interesting because it was minted during a time when Puerto Rico was still a Spanish colony, and it features the portrait of Spanish Queen Regent Maria Cristina on one side and the Puerto Rican coat of arms on the other. This coin was used as legal tender in Puerto Rico and other Spanish colonies, and it is a rare and valuable collector's item today.
