The Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre presents a new series of collector coins dedicated to the "Castles of the World". It has been difficult to make the selection, taking into account that in Spain alone there are more than 10,000 castles registered, so we have had the collaboration of the Spanish Association of Friends of the Castles for an appropriate choice of castles to represent.

The collection is made up of sixteen coins, which can be purchased individually, as a complete collection and in sets of four coins each.

The obverse shows a coloured image of Neuschwanstein Castle, courtesy of the Free State of Bavaria. King Ludwig II was inspired during his travels in 1867 by two castles he visited, Wartburg Castle and Pierrefonds Castle. Christian Jank made the drawings based on these two castles, and the architect Eduard Riedel began construction.

On the reverse (common to all the coins), within a central circular area, the value of the coin 1.5 EURO appears; to its right, the mint mark; at the bottom, the legend CASTLES OF THE WORLD. An allegory of the structure of the castles surrounds the legends in the central area.
