Don Juan Carlos's regal half profile topped by a full beard curls had morphed seamlessly into the pop-eyed, big nosed, bald-headed feature of Homer, complete with familiar five o-clock shadow. "The coin must be done by a professional," said Jose Martinez who found it in the cash register of his shop in Aviles in 2008. "it's an impressive piece of work."

Amid fears that the illegal defacement might be part of a republican conspiracy against the Spanish monarchy, thousands of Simpsons fans from across the globe bid over $30 for the coin.
