The 1896 Alfonso XIII 5 Pesetas coin is a fascinating artifact from Spain's late 19th-century history. It was minted during the turbulent early reign of Alfonso XIII, who ascended to the throne as an infant in 1886 after the death of his father, Alfonso XII. By 1896, Alfonso XIII was still a child, and the coin’s obverse reflects this with a youthful portrait of the king, accompanied by the inscription “Por la G de Dios” (By the Grace of God), emphasizing his divine right to rule.
The reverse features Spain's national coat of arms, symbolizing the unity and power of the Spanish crown during an era of significant political and social challenges. Struck in .900 fine silver with a weight of 25 grams, the coin is both a historical relic and a masterpiece of craftsmanship, representing a period when Spain was transitioning from its colonial past into a modern era. Its uncleaned condition adds to its authenticity and appeal for collectors, preserving the character and story of the piece as it has weathered the years.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
