Additional information

Spain's Second Republic wasn't proclaimed until April 1931, but pattern coinage for the transitional period was being explored as early as 1930, when the Primo de Rivera dictatorship was collapsing and Alfonso XIII's position had become politically untenable. This piece belongs to that uncertain interlude — struck to test a proposed type that never reached circulation before the monarchy itself ceased to function.

Aureo's reference 18 places it among a small group of copper patterns from this year, most surviving in very limited numbers.
