8th March - International Women's Day - Tribute to Clara Campoamor

On the occasion of International Women's Day, and paying tribute to the lawyer and politician Clara Campoamor, the Royal Mint of Spain issues a new silver collector's coin dedicated to a woman who fought for equality, freedom and progress and for the right to women's suffrage.

The obverse features a portrait of His Majesty King Felipe VI.

The reverse shows an image of Clara Campoamor at a political meeting held on 5 April 1931 at the "Urumea" pelota court in San Sebastián (Kutxateka/Fondo Photo Carte/Ricardo Martín); to her left is the symbol of women and, in capital letters, the legends EQUALITY, FREEDOM and PROGRESS.
