Comment

In 1992, the first Ibero-American series was issued. At that time, the simple fact that 14 countries agreed to mint a common series of coins with a common topic was a cultural, economic and political achievement. To commemorate this union of cultures, the Ibero-American series was born and now, 28 years later, the collection has a place in the numismatic world.
The selected joint theme for the 12thissue of this series is “Historical Trains”. The coins shows some classical trains of the seven different participating countries: Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal and Spain.

Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Barcelona-Mataró locomotive, which was the first steam locomotive to operate in Spain and played a significant role in the country's industrial development.
