| Additional information |
The Provisional Government that authorized this pattern had only existed since the Glorious Revolution of September 1868, which expelled Isabel II and left Spain scrambling to define both a new political order and a new coinage system. Patterns from this administration are genuinely scarce — the government itself lasted only until Amadeo I took the throne in 1871, compressing the entire experimental minting window to under three years.
Aureo catalog attribution places this among a small group of copper trials that never reached circulation.
