Spain Coins
Spain's recent monetary history has been marked by important changes, from the peseta to the adoption of the euro. This journey reflects not only the economic evolution of the country, but also its integration into the European Union and the advances in numismatic technology.
Spanish Numismatics
The peseta was the official currency of Spain from 1868 to 2002. During this period, it underwent numerous changes in its design and value, reflecting the various political and economic regimes of the country. The issues of the Second Republic, the Franco era and the transition to democracy stand out. The last series of pesetas, introduced in the 1990s, featured advanced security measures and designs that honored Spanish culture and history.
The euro era
In 2002, Spain adopted the euro as its official currency, marking a milestone in its economic history. Spanish euro coins maintain a national design on the reverse, featuring symbols such as the effigy of the king and the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Spain has issued numerous commemorative 2 euro coins, celebrating historical and cultural events. In addition, the Royal Spanish Mint has continued to mint numismatic collections of great quality, keeping alive the interest in Spanish numismatics in the euro era.
