The common theme of the XIII Ibero-American Series is IBERO-AMERICAN CAPITALS. Eight countries have participated in the series and have made a selection of monuments or views of these capitals, making the inclusion of colour even more impressive on the coins.
The obverses of the coins depict the national coat of arms of the country issuing the coin, surrounded by the others.
The reverse depicts a view of a monument or site in a major capital of each participating country:
Spain: Seville, Plaza de España.
Argentina: Buenos Aires, Puente de la Mujer.
Guatemala: Antigua Guatemala, Arch of Santa Catalina.
Ecuador: Quito, La Plaza Grande.
Nicaragua: Managua, Puerto Salvador Allende.
Paraguay: Concepción, Nanawa Bridge.
Peru: Lima, Fuente de la Fama and Lima Cathedral.
Portugal: Lisbon, Bica Elevator.
