Comments

Albeit relatively scarce, there is one well known variant of this coin, traditionally known as the Pantograph Error. There are three main features through which the Pantograph Error can be distinguished. Firstly, the rim in the error coin is thinner. Secondly, the portrait of Juan Carlos I is somewhat bigger than in the normal coin. And thirdly, the sphere on the reverse of the error coin is also bigger, and usually, it presents a blank space in its center, probably due to a weak strike.
The following image of the Pantograph Error is courtesy of Aureo & Calicó:

The Seville Expo '92 was a universal exposition that took place from Monday, April 20 to Monday, October 12, 1992, on La Isla de La Cartuja (Charterhouse Island), Seville, Spain. The theme for the expo was "The Age of Discovery", celebrating the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus reaching the Americas after launching from Seville's port (on the Guadalquivir), and over 100 countries were represented. The total amount of land used for the expo was 215 hectares (530 acres) and the total number of visitors was 41,814,571.
