August 2009 | Spain, New design of Euro national sides

In 2010, Spain will revise the design of its national sides in order to comply with the common guidelines recommended by the European Commission, as endorsed by the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009.

The new national sides will continue to bear the same effigy of His Majesty King Juan Carlos I, but the year mark will now feature in the inner part of the coin, together with the mint mark and the name of the issuing country.

The twelve stars in the outer ring will now be depicted as on the European flag, with no raised section around them.
