EURO COINAGE 2009 CANARIASID32107078
Canary Islands Silver medal
This sterling silver medal is designed as a tribute to the Canaries, an archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean off the north-west coast of Africa. The Canary Islands is one of the seventeen autonomous communities that make up the Spanish nation while at the same time being considered as an ultra-peripheral region and therefore an integrated part of the European territory. Despite the approximately 1,400 km that separate it from the European continent, the Islands are western in culture.
The autonomous community of the Canary Islands is composed of seven islands: El Hierro, La Gomera, La Palma and Tenerife, which form the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife; and Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, which make up the province of Las Palmas.
Volcanic in origin, they have a subtropical climate that is tempered by the Islands´ mountains and mountainous ranges, which afford great biological diversity as well as scenic and geological abundance. The appeal of their natural beauty, the excellent climate and their beaches cause the Islands to be an important tourist destination.
The maximum mint run for this Euroset of coins minted in 2009 is 20,000 units.
