| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of King Juan Carlos I occupies the left portion of the field, with the face value '1 PESETA' and the country name 'ESPAÑA' inscribed to the right of the portrait. The legend 'JUAN CARLOS I' appears along the upper arc, framing the royal effigy in a clean, modernist style characteristic of late 20th-century Spanish coinage. |

This piece was struck as part of Spain's farewell series to the peseta ahead of euro adoption in January 2002. The coin never circulated — it was produced solely for collectors making a sentimental gesture out of what was otherwise a straightforward currency transition mandated by Spain's eurozone commitments.
KM#832 is the silver collector restrike of a denomination that had, in its circulating form, been an aluminum coin worth almost nothing by the end. The irony of memorializing it in sterling is not lost on specialists.
