This 1870 1 Centimo coin from the Spanish Revolutionary Period is a must-have for any collector of world coins. With its unique design and historical significance, it is a nice addition to any collection.


The Provisional Government (1868–1871) was a provisional government formed in Spain between the overthrow of Queen Isabella II of Spain on 30 September 1868 after the Glorious Revolution, and the inauguration of the new King Amadeo I of Spain before the Cortes on 2 January 1871.


It was the first phase of a 6-year period, known as the Sexenio Democrático (1868–1874).


The revolutionary spirit that had overthrown the Spanish government in September 1868 lacked direction. It was a coalition of 3 parties : the Unión Liberal headed by Francisco Serrano, the Progressive Party headed by Juan Prim and the Democratic Party.


The year of 1870 marks an important time in Spanish history, and this coin serves as a reminder of that era.
