Interesting fact

The coin's obverse side depicts a traditional Ibizan boat, known as a "laúd," which has been used by local fishermen for centuries. The boat is surrounded by a circle of dolphins, symbolizing the island's strong connection to the sea. On the reverse side, the coin features the coat of arms of Ibiza, which includes a shield with the symbols of the island's four main towns: Ibiza, Santa Eulalia, Sant Antoni, and Formentera. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, signifying victory and achievement. This coin is a beautiful representation of Ibiza's rich cultural heritage and its connection to the sea.
