Thanks to a series of coins struck by the world-renowned Real Casa de la Moneda—the Royal Mint of Spain—you can visit each and every one of the Spanish capitals!

The Cosmopolitan Capital Of Spain’s Cataluña Province

Each legal-tender €5 (five Euros) coin in the series was struck in 13.5 grams of highly pure 92.5% Sterling silver and comes in gorgeous Proof condition struck from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.

It’s located just a day’s trip to the foot of the Pyrenees and is famous for its art and architecture. The coin’s obverse shows the famous Barcelona Cathedral along with an image of the Columbus Monument in the foreground.
