| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned and quartered Royal Arms of Spain occupies the central field, featuring castles and lions in the traditional Castile-Leon arrangement, with the Bourbon dynastic oval escutcheon at centre and the pomegranate of Granada at the base. The arms are flanked by the Pillars of Hercules, each wound with a decorative scroll inscribed 'PLUS ULTRA', and adorned with floral sprigs at their bases. The royal crown surmounts the shield above. The circular legend 'REY CONST. DE ESPAÑA' runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '100 PESETAS' is inscribed in large characters along the lower arc. A fine beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cal#1 designation here is not ceremonial — Calicó's rarity classification places this as the single most significant issue in the 19th-century Spanish gold series. Alfonso XIII was only eleven years old when the dies for his first portrait coinage were prepared under the regency of his mother María Cristina of Austria; by 1897, a third portrait was already required to reflect the king's adolescent features, a progression that makes his portrait sequence unusually well-documented among European monarchs of the period.
Mintage figures for this type are exceptionally low. Most surviving examples are cabinet pieces that never reached commerce.
