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).

On the reverse there is a quadruple latent image with a fleur de lis, the Mint mark, a royal crown and the number 24.



The Proclamation of King Felipe VI, which took place on Thursday, June 19, 2014, was the solemn act in which the King of Spain, before the “Cortes Generales”, took the oath to perform the functions that the Spanish Constitution of 1978 attributes to him, to keep and ensure that the laws are kept and to respect the rights of citizens and the Spanish autonomous communities. 

The ascension of Felipe VI to the Crown of Spain took place on the same day, the moment in which his father's abdication became effective when Organic Law 3/2014, of June 18, came into effect, which makes the abdication of King Juan Carlos I.
