Interesting fact
The 1 Peseta coin featuring Juan Carlos I, which was in circulation from 1982 to 1989, was the first coin in Spain to feature a living person. This was a significant departure from the traditional practice of featuring deceased historical figures or symbols on coins. The decision to feature Juan Carlos I was seen as a way to emphasize the importance of the monarchy in Spanish society and to promote the image of the king as a symbol of national unity.
