Comment
Hammered coinage was the most common form of coins produced from the invention of coins in the first millennium BC until the early modern period of c. the 15th–17th centuries, contrasting to the cast coinage and the later developed milled coinage.
Interesting fact
The 80,000 Pesetas coin featuring Juan Carlos I, minted in 1992, is a rare and valuable collector's item. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted using a traditional hammering technique, which gives it a unique and distinctive texture that sets it apart from other coins. This process involves striking the coin multiple times with a hammer to create a series of small, irregular depressions on its surface, resulting in a distinctive "hammered" finish. This technique was used in the past to create coins that were meant to be particularly special or commemorative, and it adds an extra layer of historical and cultural significance to this already rare and valuable coin.
