Editing Spanish peseta (section)

=== Restoration of democracy ===

When [[Juan Carlos I of Spain|Juan Carlos]] became king, there were a few changes: the replacement of Franco's portrait with that of Juan Carlos on the 50&nbsp;cts and Pta&nbsp;1 in 1975 and the addition of a cupro-nickel Pts&nbsp;100 in 1976. 10&nbsp;cts coins were discontinued. But there were bigger changes to each coin in 1982. Following this redesign the 50&nbsp;cts was discontinued, and aluminium replaced [[aluminium bronze]] in the Pta&nbsp;1. A Pts&nbsp;2 coin was also introduced, featuring a map of Spain, though this denomination never became popular. More importantly, nickel-brass Pts&nbsp;100 were introduced. The redesign centered around the [[1982 FIFA World Cup]] and depicted [[association football|football]]-related themes on the Pta&nbsp;1, Pts&nbsp;5, Pts&nbsp;25, Pts&nbsp;50, and Pts&nbsp;100. Shortly afterwards, the large cupronickel Pts&nbsp;100 was replaced by a smaller aluminium bronze coin, which also replaced the 100 ₧ banknote. A cupronickel Pts&nbsp;10 was introduced in 1983, a denomination that had not been issued for many decades. This preceded a wholesale redesign in all circulating Spanish coins and abandonment of the "star" dating system. Cupronickel Pts&nbsp;200 coins were introduced in 1986, followed by aluminium bronze Pts&nbsp;500 in 1987.

In 1989 the biggest changes came. The size of the Pta&nbsp;1 coin was significantly reduced. The Pts&nbsp;2 coin was discontinued. Smaller aluminium bronze Pts&nbsp;5 were introduced, and reduced aluminium bronze Pts&nbsp;25 were also introduced which had a hole in the centre. Smaller Pts&nbsp;50 coins were also issued the same year in cupronickel with the distinct [[Spanish flower]] shape that would eventually be used by many countries, most notably the 20-cent coin of the euro. At the same time, the Pts&nbsp;200 coin was made larger and included an identifiable edge with [[incuse]] lettering. In 1999, a laser-etched hologram was added to the Pts&nbsp;500 coin as a security feature to help discourage counterfeiting. During this period, all coins except the Pta&nbsp;1 and Pts&nbsp;500 went through a commemorative redesign each year, in a similar vein to the U.S. State commemorative quarters program, until they were  discontinued in 2001 before the introduction of the [[euro]] common currency.

Until 19 June 2001, the following coins were minted by the Spanish [[Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre]]:
