Sources (I write the main features that can be seen):

 

Mint and issuing entity:

  • Royal Mint of Spain is the mint https://en.numista.com/catalogue/mint.php?id=24
  • Galería del Coleccionista was the distance selling company that sold these replicas.
  • About the issuing entity... I think is the mint. Galería del Coleccionista only sold them (image of source [3]).

 

The series is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the director of the Royal Mint of Spain. I found images with two different signatures:

 

I could not find any official information about the issuing date, but I am 90% sure it was in 1999-2001:

  • According the signatures of the certificates of authenticity,
    (signature 1) Pedro Adánez Alonso, 1996-2000
    (signature 2) Gonzalo Jorge Ferré Moltó, 2000-2004
    and the source [3] (with both signatures: signature 1 in the certificate, signature 2 in a cover letter printed before 2002), I think there were mintage(s) with signature 1, sold out after 2000, and another mintage(s) with signature 2. So, the date could be 1996-2004.
  • Highest year in interval: Here https://www.imperio-numismatico.com/t162452-informacion-sobre-reacunaciones-fnmt-de-gobierno-provisional says (and I have checked) the series is not in the website of the Royal Mint of Spain https://www.fnmt.es/en/coleccionista/anos-anteriores and this website has records since 2002, so I asume the date is 2001 or earlier (so, could be 1996-2001).
  • Lowest year in interval: According to source [4] at the beginning this series was accompanied by a book published in 1999, so the date is 1999 or later (so, could be 1999-2001).

 

The name is

(ES) La historia de la peseta
(EN) The history of the Peseta

very similar to this https://en.numista.com/catalogue/series.php?id=8614

(ES) Historia de la peseta
(EN) History of the Peseta

Should the issuing entity be added to the name to differentiate them?


Things to add or modify:

  • Name (EN):
    • Without issuing entity: The history of the Peseta
    • With issuing entity: The history of the Peseta - Royal Mint of Spain
  • Name (local): La historia de la peseta
  • Issuer: Spain
  • Description (EN): (see below, it has a link to issuing entity in Numista)

Done

I add a link in the first post with a table of material, diameter and weight of all the replicas.

 

@Compendium, while modify the pages of these replicas in Numista, I noted that the sources say “gold clad”, no “gold plated”. Please, fix the 2nd paragraph in English:

 

The set consists of 24 replicas of coins made of silver (.925), seven of them pure gold plated, from different periods of the 19th and 20th centuries:

Is there a difference ? If not I'd recommend to use only one single term on Numista

Yes, there is a difference. 

Cladding:  a thin sheet material annealed to a base planchet with the sides most often exposing parts of the core.

Plating: a planchet with a very thin coating deposited  though electrochemical processes

Then you must request addition of a new technique and composition option on Numista 

Numista allows select both terms in the edit page (That is why I noticed):

  • (EN) Nickel clad steel / (FR) Acier recouvert de nickel N#5913
  • (EN) Nickel plated steel / (FR) Acier plaqué nickel N#5200
