This is a 5 peseta silver coin issued by the Kingdom of Spain, which replaced the peso as the nation’s primary currency until it was succeeded by the euro in AD 2002. At the centre of the obverse is the Spanish coat of arms, with four surrounding banners representing, in clockwise order from the upper left, the kingdoms of Castile, León, Navarre, and Aragon. Above the coat of arms is a crown, while on either side are the Pillars of Hercules and the national motto, “Plus Ultra,” meaning “Further Beyond.”

The inscription at the bottom denotes the denomination as 5 pesetas, with the outer inscription reading “900 Silver 1/40 Kilogramme.” On the reverse, the central feature is a portrait of the king, surrounded by the inscription “Amadeo I, King of Spain, 1871.” The asterisks within the text represent the mint marks of the Spanish Royal Mint. The edge of the coin bears the inscription “Justice and Liberty.”

Since the Bourbon dynasty took control of Spain, the Salic law, which allowed only male succession, was applied to the Spanish throne. Upon the death of King Ferdinand VII in AD 1833, and with no male heirs, the throne passed to his young daughter, Isabella II. Although the previous king had persuaded the Cortes (Spanish parliament) to amend the succession laws, his brother, Prince Carlos, still claimed his right to the throne. This dispute led to a series of conflicts known as the “Carlist Wars.” After the Glorious Revolution of 1868, Queen Isabella II was deposed, and the provisional government chose Prince Amadeo of Italy as the new king in AD 1870. He ruled until AD 1873, when the First Spanish Republic was established.

這是一枚由西班牙王國發行的5比塞塔銀幣，用於取代披索成為其國家主要貨幣，直到公元2002年被歐元取代。正面中央為西班牙國徽，四面旗幟自左上順時針順序分別代表：卡斯提爾、萊昂、納瓦拉、阿拉貢四個王國。上方以王冠裝飾，左右兩側則是海克力士之柱以及國家格言「通向更遠方」。

下方的銘文為面額5比塞塔，外圈銘文為「900銀1/40公斤」。反面中央為國王頭像，外圈銘文「西班牙國王阿瑪迪奧一世．1871」。文字中的星號則為西班牙皇家造幣廠的戳記。硬幣邊緣上的銘文為「正義與自由」。

自法國波旁王朝入主西班牙以來，薩利克法中的僅限男性繼承亦適用西班牙王位。公元1833年斐迪南七世去世，由於無男性子嗣，王位由年幼的女兒伊莎貝爾二世繼承。儘管前任國王已說服國會完成繼承法的修改，王弟卡洛斯王子仍主張自己的繼承權，進而引發一系列的「卡洛斯戰爭」。公元1868年西班牙光榮革命後伊莎貝爾二世被推翻，臨時政府於公元1870年選擇義大利阿瑪迪奧王子作為新國王，其出任至公元1873年西班牙第一共和成立。
