As part of the 1992 collection for the Barcelona Olympic Games the Spanish mint issued several "prueba" (pattern) coins. None of the reference books that I have checked show mintages. Does anyone happen to know how many of each of these coins was issued? I have scoured the internet and even called the FNMT Collector Coin office all to no avail. Also, along the same lines, some of the "emblem" coins from this set (KM 859) were counter-stamped ""INUTILIZACION OCTUBRE 1992". Again, does anyone happen to know how many of these were done this way? If you do not know the answer to these questions, do you know who might? Any information you can provide will be appreciated.

Unfortunately, I am unable to add any insight, but I would love to see images if you were able to find any online. I lived in Spain for 6 months in 1993 and many of the olympic designs were circulating in change. Spain had some fabulous designs in the early 1990s on their regular issues. I tried to collect as many as possible from pocket change and I still have all of them for sentimental reasons.

Thanks for the post. Most of the silver and gold coins from this Olympics show up on ebay. Here is a link to a dealer that has several of the silver coins for sale with pictures:

I have also attached pictures of the specific coins whose mintages I am trying to find.
