In 1999 to celebrate the Millennium, the Spanish Mint released a very Limited Issue 1,500 Pesetas Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver.
The reverse designed by Alfonso Morales depicts a powerful design that unites Spain's historic maritime past with a new age of discovery, the conquest of space.
The obverse design features a
portrait
of King Juan Carlos I.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
