Comment
The Series we have called “Face Value Exchange Series“ is made up of the issue of one coin each year (in some exceptional years two were issued) from 1994 to the present. We grouped these coins into a single series since they all have the characteristic that, despite being made of silver, they could be obtained at the Bank of Spain at the face value of the coin and all these coins have the same dimensional and composition characteristics (Silver (.925) • 27 g • ⌀ 40 mm). It started with the Peseta System in 1994, with a face value of 2000 Pesetas (approximately 12 Euros) and continued with the Euro System with face values of 12 Euro (2002-2010), 20 Euro (2010-2011), 30 Euro (2012-2021) and 40 Euro (2022-date).
The Eurozone, officially called the euro area, is a monetary union of 19 of the 27 European Union (EU) member states which have adopted the euro (€) as their common currency and sole legal tender. The monetary authority of the eurozone is the Eurosystem. The other eight members of the European Union continue to use their own national currencies, although most of them are obliged to adopt the euro in the future.
Interesting fact
The Juan Carlos I coin was minted in 2009 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Spanish Constitution, which was approved by the Spanish people in a referendum on December 6, 1978. The coin features an image of King Juan Carlos I on the obverse side, and the coat of arms of Spain on the reverse side. The coin was minted in silver (.925) and has a weight of 18 grams. It was a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead sold at a premium price to collectors.
