Set Description
Gold 25 Pesetas with overdates ("sobrefechas") for 1882/1 and 1883/2 are listed in each of the two complete Spanish coin reference guides, Xavier Calicó’s “Numismática Española 1474 a 2001” (p. 826) and Adolfo, Clemente y Juan Cayón’s “Las Monedas Españolas del Tremis al Euro” (vol. 2, p. 1336).

These two overdates are not listed in the major international reference guides, notably Krause-Mishler and Schlumberger, which tend to be more restrictive in their recognition of varieties.

My collection of Spanish gold peseta coins includes here these two overdates that are fairly mainstream among discerning collectors.

PCGS has not yet certified any examples.

This coin, under magnification, shows the entire date has been repunched.

This is my favorite Alfonsina. There is not likely to be a finer example in the world.

PCGS recognizes the 1882/1 overdate as a separate variety of "1882-MS M 25 Pta" in its Population Report (PCGS No. 145180: "1882/1-MS M 25 Pta").

NGC has recently certified one example of the 1882/1 overdate, graded MS-61.
