cara Valued Member Uruguay 217 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 10:41 pm Yes, when Puerto Rico was a Spanish colony, they are beautiful coins with the portrait of the boy king Alfonso XIII. Such coins are very expensive, I like Un Peso 1895. Beware of fakes. Report this Post to the Staff

The coin shown, and the others of the 1895-96 issue, were struck by Spain in Madrid for use in Puerto Rico (a colony of Spain at the time). Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!
