| Additional information |
The Alhucemas name refers to the 1925 Spanish-French amphibious landing at Al Hoceima on the Moroccan Rif coast — often cited as the first large-scale combined-arms amphibious operation in modern military history — mounted to break Abd el-Krim's Riffian Republic, which had humiliated Spanish forces at Annual in 1921, killing an estimated 8,000 soldiers. Spain's commemorative peseta dating system counts from 1474, the year of Isabel and Fernando's union, placing this issue in that regnal calendar rather than the Gregorian year of minting.
