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).
To mark the occasion of the fourth centenary of the death of Domenicos Theotocopoulos, El Greco, (1541-1614), the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre-Real Casa de la Moneda has issued a collector coin designated "Fourth Centenary of El Greco".
Interesting fact
The Juan Carlos I (El Greco) coin was designed by the Spanish artist José María Pemán, who was known for his work in the style of El Greco, a famous Greek artist who lived in Spain in the 16th century. Pemán's design features a portrait of King Juan Carlos I on one side and an image of El Greco's famous painting "The Burial of the Count of Orgaz" on the other. The coin was minted in 2014 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of El Greco's death and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
