Spain 50 pesetas 1958. Why 1958, when it clearly says "1957"? Because the Spanish mint had the peculiar system of putting the date the die was designed on the coins, and the actual date of issue inside the tiny six-pointed-star mintmark. See the little "58" inside the star to the left of the eagle? It's quite clear on your excellent pics.

KM# 788, CV 50˘ in VF.

Sir, Sap, I have plenty of those Spanish Franco coins with star dates. I didn't know, they are worthy. Thank you for your one of a kind information.
