Identification note: Exact KM number and precise specs not confirmed from photos; date range given for this Cu‑Ni portrait type. | Visible attributes match Spain’s circulating 100 Pesetas with Juan Carlos I: Spanish legends, bust of Juan Carlos I, crowned M (Madrid) mintmark, and reverse with the crowned national arms flanked by the Pillars of Hercules above the value. The explicit 1998 date places it within the 1989–2001 circulating 100 Pesetas series, which is the bimetallic type cataloged around KM‑880. What remains unverified: confirmation that the coin is bimetallic (brass ring with Cu‑Ni center), edge inscription/orientation, and exact diameter/weight needed to pin down any suffix/variety. If the piece is not bimetallic, the attribution would be incorrect and would point instead to an earlier monometal Cu‑Ni type that does not exist for 1998.
