Spain and the evolution of its Euro coins

Spain, a country located in Southern Europe, played a key role in the introduction of the euro as a common currency. Since its entry into circulation on January 1, 2002, the euro has succeeded the peseta as the official currency in Spain. The evolution of Spanish euro coins is marked by distinct designs featuring national and cultural symbols.

The first series of coins, issued from 1999 to 2010, features the effigy of King Juan Carlos I. These coins reflect the transition from the peseta to the euro, and bear the hallmark of the Mint Commissioner in office at the time of minting. The Spanish emblem, the royal coat of arms, is also featured on these coins.

In 2010, a new coin series was introduced to mark the reign of King Felipe VI. This series features the effigy of King Felipe VI accompanied by his monogram. Spanish euro coins are renowned for their variety and artistic detail, reflecting the country's rich history and culture.

Following the abdication of King Juan Carlos I on June 18, 2014, his son Felipe became King Felipe VI. As of 2015, the 1 and 2 euro coins feature the effigy of King Felipe VI, facing left. On the left, the issuing country "ESPAÑA" followed by the year. The whole is surrounded by the 12 stars of the European flag, on the outer ring. The obverse of the other coins remains unchanged.

The designs of Spanish euro coins illustrate Spain's evolution as a member of the euro zone, and underline the continuity of the country's sovereignty through its various royal reigns. These coins are not only means of payment, but also visual testimonials to Spanish history, culture and identity.

In this section, you'll find all the official euro coins since Spain adopted the euro in 1999(BU, BE, 2 Euro Commemorative Spain, etc.)
