Comment
On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the creation of the Spanish Civil Guard, the Royal Mint of Spain issues this silver coin.
The Civil Guard (Spanish: Guardia Civil) is one of the two national law enforcement agencies of Spain. As a national gendarmerie, it is military in nature and is responsible for civil policing under the authority of both the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defence. The role of the Ministry of Defence is limited except in times of war when the Ministry has exclusive authority. The corps is colloquially known as the “benemérita” (the meritorious or the reputables).
Francisco Javier Girón, 2nd Duke of Ahumada (born 11 March 1803) was a Spanish Army officer known for being the founder and first Director-General of the Civil Guard.
