Spanish euro coins
Spanish euro coins feature three different designs for each of the three series of
12 stars of the EU
, the year of minting, and the word España (Spanish for Spain).
Current series
In 2010, Spain updated their national sides in order to comply with the European commission recommendations. In the €1 and €2 coins, the same portrait of king Juan Carlos I was used, but the year position was placed in the inner part of the coin. Moreover, the twelve star ring no longer contained chiselled sections.[1] The chiselled sections were also removed from designs for the other coins.
In 2015, the portrait on the €1 and €2 coins was changed to that of the new King
Felipe VI following his father's abdication the previous year.[2]
