The decimal escudo system in Spain was only in use briefly, from 1864 to 1868. Krause lists 10 escudo gold coins dated 1865, 1866, 1867, and 1868. 1868 dated coins also have a date-in-star, either 68 or 73.

Vital statistics: weight 8.387 grams, .900 fine, 0.2427 ounces. Mintages aren't recorded for these coins in Krause, but judging by the CV, the 1865 is the scarcest date.
