Best Answer

The only 1876 gold peseta coins from Spain are denominated "25 Pesetas" and contain 0.23335 Troy ounce of gold worth about $400 as of February 2012. The original coin, of which 1,281,000 were minted, have the numbers "18" and "76" incused into the stars on either side of the date. They are worth about $440 to $600 depending on condition.

In 1961 and 1962, the Spanish federal mint ("F.N.M.T.") minted restrikes of the 1876 25 Pesetas coin to sell to collectors through a third party. These official restrikes have the numbers "19" and "61" (or "62") incused into the stars. The 1962 coin (6,000 minted) is worth about the same as the original. The 1961 coin is rarer (only 300 minted) and is worth about $2000 depending on condition. Rarest of all, a few of the 1961 restrikes were minted with "18" and "76" in the stars. These can be distinguished from originals by examining the 27 fleurs-de-lis that ring the edge of the coin. The fleurs-de-lis are SMALLER in the restrikes, LARGER in the original.

That is the value just for the gold in the coin, not as a coin.
