It is the abbreviation stamped on Spanish five pesetas coins.
5 ptas

Ptas is the abbreviation for pesetas. This is the currency that Spain used before converting over to the euro.
Spain.
at least 200 dollars on e bay but at least 1000 to a collector
All PTAS coins from 1868-1982 actually have the two dates. The larger one is the date the coin was authorized and the one in the star is the actual date of the coin. Most PTAS sell for around $2.
A 5 PTAS coin is short for 5 pesetas, which is what Spain used prior to the Euro. The exact value depends on the date and variety, but for the majority of dates, they're only worth a couple of cents in circulated and a couple of bucks or so in uncirculated condition.
Yes.
It should have the country's name on it. Most likely you'll see Espana, which is Spain (in Spanish)
The Spainish Peseta is obsolete and no longer legal tender. 5 Peseta would have converted to .03 Euro or 4 1/2 US Cents.
Yes, that is the date the coin was actually minted. All coins of that type have the date 1957 (the issue date for that series) on the obverse and the actually date of mintage in a small star on the reverse. The problem with this design is that the mintage date can easily damaged or erased by wear.
yes it does have a 25th coin!
