Spanish euro coins (original) (raw)

The euro (EUR or €) is the common currency for most European nations within the European Union, including Spain. The euro coins have two different sides; one common, European side showing the value of the coin and one national side featuring a design chosen by the EU member state where the coin was minted. Each member state has one or more designs unique to that country.

For images of the common side and a detailed description of the coins, see Euro coins.

Spanish euro coins feature three different designs for each of the three series of coins. The minor series of 1, 2 and 5 cent coins were designed by Garcilaso Roll�n, the middle series of 10, 20, and 50 cent coins by Bego�a Castellanos and the two major coins feature the portrait or effigy of King Juan Carlos of Spain by the hand of Luis Jos� Diaz. All designs feature the 12 stars of the EU and the year of imprint.
