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).

It was issued as a circulating coin, although hardly anybody used them.
La maja vestida (English translation: The Clothed Maja) is an oil painting on canvas created between 1800-1807 by the Spanish Romantic painter and printmaker, Francisco Goya. It is a clothed version of the earlier La maja desnuda, created between 1795- 1800.

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
