Spain ESPAÑA The 1957 date on the front is only the design date. On the back in a small star (on left) is the mintage year, from 58 to 75 and sometimes it gets worn away and is unreadable.
A 1957 50 ptas coin with a star and a 59 marking is not considered rare and typically has no additional value beyond its face worth. In general, a 50 ptas coin from 1957 would be worth a few cents in US currency.
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.
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.
Ptas is the abbreviation for pesetas. This is the currency that Spain used before converting over to the euro.
