Hi guys

Have this coin found in bulk lot....

1882 5 pesetas, I have few issues with this coin

good points

non magnetic
made of silver .900 tested good
correct diameter
weight is reasonably correct 24.5g

bad points
Mint mark in hair laurette is a B, my research for this years shows it should be an M
mint mark below wreath, my coin shows no mint mark below wreath and from my research there should be a M

Even before I saw this page >
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces18647.html
the portrait does not look correct - like someone has created their own design.
The lettering on both sides is poor.
So I say a fake - but also depends on what other members think. :)
Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins
Even if there are many variants for this type of coin, I wouldn't buy this one too.

The eye seems wrongly done (oriental shape, it's recurrent on some chinese counterfeited coins).
The relief seems a bit too exaggerated and this kind of regular tonning in the background is common on the fake silver coins.
Thanks guys,

as I started too suspect I might just put it in a scrap silver pile as it’s actually made from real silver
