Pesetas still have value and even more so when it comes to a 5 peseta coin with certain characteristics. Despite the fact that pesetas have not been commonly used currency for several years due to the euro, many people continue to accumulate these coins in their homes, hoping that at some point they will have value again.
No, it is not as if from one moment to another we stop using euros and start using pesetas. What can happen is that, one day, you realize that you have a valuable or rare coin in your hands. In fact, this is not far from the truth. And, it is that, there are variations of the 5 pesetas of all life that have a lot of value.
In addition, it is not difficult to have one of these coins since in Spain the use of pesetas extended for years. We are going to see all those coins that are valuable and, above all, how to identify them so that you can find out if that 5-peseta coin you found around the house has any value.
A few weeks ago our colleague Juan Antonio Pascual Estapé compiled the value of the most coveted 5-peseta coins, but since this is a changing market, the truth is that prices have fluctuated for some time now. Now there are some coins that are more interesting to look for than others.
Find out if you have 5 peseta coins worth hundreds of euros
The 5 peseta coins with the mark *19*51 can have a value of 6,000 euros and those with the mark *19*52 can reach a value of 36,000 euros. Of course, for them to be able to reach this value, a series of conditions must be met, such as the fact that they must be in an immaculate state of conservation.
How do you know it’s in an immaculate state of preservation? These coins must not have stains, scratches and must retain the original shine of when they were produced.. Come on, it is very difficult today to find one in those conditions. Also, the vast majority of them were melted down during the Korean War.
Putting aside the most expensive currencies, there are those that have the marks *58 and *63, which makes their value 50 euros in both cases. These coins are more common, so it is easier to find one of these coins in optimal conditions, with the 5 pesetas of 1957 or duros being the most profitable to look for.
