Aus dem Messekatalog der World Money Fair 2014:
"The Spanish Royal Mint is honoured to be part, once again, of the World Money Fair and we are pleased to present some exciting products that will promote our business and support the Hobby of coin collecting.
As in previous years, at the convention we present our latest 2013 issues as well as an advance of our collector coin Programme for 2014.
Apart from a 30 Euro BU silver coin, in 2013 we issued a collection of four proof coins dedicated to the 75th Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty King Juan Carlos I.
Last December we launched the first six coins in the “Royal Sites” series, in which we depict palaces, monasteries and convents built for and with the patronage of the Spanish Monarchy. An additional six coins completing this collection will be issued next March.
With the same artistic approach of the series dedicated to the “Greatest Spanish Painters”, last year we chose eleven paintings, among the many masterpieces housed at the Prado Museum, to start the series “Treasures of the Spanish Museums”. Two out of the five coins in the 2014 issue will depict works of art from El Greco, commemorating his 400th Anniversary.
We will also dedicate the 2014 face value BU silver coin to El Greco. Painter, sculptor and architect of the Spanish Renaissance, El Greco is regarded as a precursor of both Expressionism and Cubism.
For the 5th issue in the “Jewels of Numismatics” series we will replicate coins from the Catholic Monarchs, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon. Their marriage united both crowns under the same family and could be considered the origin of the unifi cation of Spain.
