2010 Spain €5 13.5-gm Silver Spanish Capitals – Madrid Proof

Spanish Capitals Series Honors Its Capital And Most Populous City

There's a lot more to Spain than the well-traveled tourist areas that most of us know about. Occupying almost all of Europe's Iberian Peninsula, Spain is dotted with many different regions with diverse cultures, languages, and history. In fact, there are 50 provinces across the country, each with its own capital. 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!

Spain's Political, Economic & Cultural Center

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. Here you can secure the 2010 €5 Spanish Capitals – Madrid Proof. Nicknamed the "Bear and the Strawberry Tree," an epithet that comes from a 13th Century dispute between the city's council and a clergyman over right to certain forests and fields, Madrid is famous for its exquisite food, world-renowned football club, gorgeous parks, royal palace, and historical squares. The coin's obverse shows Madrid's famous Puerta de Alcalá, a neoclassical triumphal arch made of granite. Designed by Spanish architect Francesco Sabatini, the Puerta de Alcalá was the first of its kind to be built after the fall of the Roman Empire, making it even older than Berlin's Brandenburg Gate or the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The coin's reverse shows Madrid's Coat of Arms.
