What do we pay for a silver 100 pesetas 1966?
Based on the silver rate of this moment, €1.75 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine silver | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 pesetas | 15.2 g | 19 g | €25.49 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure silver it contains.
This coin is 800‰ pure. The rest of the alloy – usually copper – makes it harder and scratch-resistant, but has no value. That is why we calculate on the fine weight and not on what the scales say.
Every example carries the date 1966. The actual year of striking is shown small inside the stars beside the date, from 66 to 70.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

The year in the stars
Spain showed the actual year of striking in small figures inside the stars beside the date 1966. Most coins have 66 or 67; other combinations are scarcer and can be worth more than the silver. The valuer reads them with a loupe.
From silver to base metal
After this coin Spain struck no more silver 100 pesetas for everyday use. Later 100 pesetas are base metal and contain no silver. We separate them and weigh only the silver: 15.2 grams per coin.
