Comment
In 2004, coinciding with the enlargement of the European Union, several Mint Houses of the old continent joined the European numismatic program, coining collectible coins with a common logo.
With the slogan "European Heritage" the Royal Mint issues the V Collection Series Coin of the Europe Program.
Alfonso X (also known as the Wise, Spanish: el Sabio; 23 November 1221 – 4 April 1284) was King of Castile, León and Galicia from 1 June 1252 until his death in 1284. During the election of 1257, a dissident faction chose him to be king of Germany on 1 April. He renounced his claim to Germany in 1275, and in creating an alliance with the Kingdom of England in 1254, his claim on the Duchy of Gascony as well.
