I picked this up at a local coin shop. After doing some research it appears the original run of this coin ended in 1881. I read they did some restikes in the 1960s of this coin but cannot find anything about an 1890 restrike.

Does anyone know anything about this? Original 1890 coin? A restrike? When were restrikes produced? Metal content? FAKE?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Alfonso XII died in 1885 and his son, Alfonso XIII, reigned from 1886 to 1931. Mighty suspicious.

Restrikes generally match a real coin, so I'd probably call it a fantasy piece. It may be gold, but I'm doubtful.

We sometimes see similar coins at auction, in Spain with the following description

Reproducción 25 Pesetas. 1890 (*18-90). M.S.-M. 7,95 grs. AU 75%. Acuñación posterior de un año inexistente. SC.
