Comment

The price of audacity.
It was on the island of Mactan, in the Philippines, that Ferdinand Magellan lived his last moments, paying a high price for his audacity. However, the navigators death didn¿t end his epic enterprise, which was completed in 1522 by Sebastián Elcano. In 2022, INCM will issue this series fourth and final commemorative coin, dedicated to the last stage of the circumnavigation.

Interesting fact

The Mactan 1521 coin commemorates the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Mactan between the Portuguese and the native warriors of the Philippine island of Mactan in 1521.
