Comment

Mule (error) with obverse of KM#807 and reverse of KM#817. Like KM#817 with 1975 in obverse. Mintage 800.000, but only between 35.000 and 40.000 issued.

The 1982 FIFA World Cup was the 12th FIFA World Cup, a quadrennial football tournament for men's senior national teams, and was played in Spain from 13 June to 11 July 1982. The tournament was won by Italy, who defeated West Germany 3–1 in the final held in the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in the capital, Madrid.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error known as a "mule," which occurs when a coin is struck with the dies of a different coin, resulting in a unique and rare combination. In this case, the 5 Pesetas coin was struck with the dies of a 10 Pesetas coin, leading to a mismatch between the obverse and reverse designs. This error makes the coin particularly valuable to collectors.
