| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, bearded effigy of King Alfonso XII facing right, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the hair and sideburns. The truncation of the neck is clean and unadorned. The circular legend is divided by the portrait, reading ALFONSO XII to the left and POR LA G. DE DIOS to the right. The date 1880 appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by small five-pointed stars. A beaded inner border runs along the periphery of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Philippine peso coinage of the Spanish colonial period was minted in Madrid, and pattern issues like this one were produced to evaluate proposed designs or compositions before authorizing full production runs. Whether this brass striking was a serious compositional trial or simply a reference piece for the Manila treasury is unclear — brass patterns of this type rarely made it past the cabinet of the mint director.
Alfonso XII had only regained the Spanish throne in 1875 following the Bourbon Restoration, and currency reform across the colonial territories was an active administrative concern throughout his reign.
