2 Euro Spain 2024 - Seville Cathedral

2 Euro commemorative Spain 2024 - Seville Cathedral

Description:

At the heart of the coin is an emblematic Seville trio: the Cathedral, the Alcázar and the Archivo de Indias, forming a breathtaking monumental ensemble that embodies the soul of the city. These buildings, privileged witnesses to the Almohad epic and post-reconquest Andalusia, reveal a remarkable fusion of Moorish influences, persistent from the 13th to the 16th century. The Giralda, a minaret transformed into a tower, stands next to the Gothic cathedral, the largest of its kind in Europe, which houses the monumental tomb of Christopher Columbus. The former Stock Exchange, now the Archivo de Indias, houses priceless documents on the former American colonies. The name "Sevilla" is engraved on the upper periphery, while the base displays "ESPANA", the issuing country, as well as the minting year "2024" and the seal of the Spanish Mint. The outer ring features the 12 stars symbolizing the European Union, adding a continental dimension to this rich cultural heritage.
