Spain’s postal service is one of the oldest established systems of its kind in the world. Originally implemented under Royal Warrant by King Philip V, the initial role of the post was to deliver the King’s orders and diplomatic dispatches. This warrant was issued in 1716 and is considered the founding of what would become the modern post office.

While this is the founding date of the post office, the Spanish Post’s evolution began in 1743 when it was re-organized into a national service with a regulated network of post offices and the official appointment of a Correo Mayor, or Postmaster General. That evolution was furthered in 1850 with the first-ever issue of a Spanish postage stamp.

Known officially as the Sociedad Estatal de Correos y Telegrafos, the 2016 Silver Spanish Post Coin’s reverse face includes the crowned post horn, which is captured in brilliant gold coloring in the center of the design. Surrounding it are the engravings of “Tercer Centenario de Correos y Telegrafos” and “10 Euro.”

The obverse side of the 2016 Spanish Post Coin features a left-profile portrait of the nation’s current King, His Majesty Felipe VI. King Felipe VI has been on the throne since 2014 when his father, King Juan Carlos I abdicated after a 39-year reign. Engravings on this face include “Felipe VI Rey de Espana” and “2016.”

Each of these 2016 Silver Spanish Post Coins has a Brilliant Uncirculated grade, which indicates a lack of wear and tear. However, BU coins often have minor flaws such as breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from striking.

These 2016 Spanish Post Coins are a product of the Royal Mint of Spain, which was formed in the 18th century following centuries of other private and public mints in use throughout the country.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
