In 1992, the first Ibero-American series was issued. At the time, the simple fact that 14 countries agreed to mint a common series of coins with a common theme was a cultural, economic and political achievement.
To commemorate this union of cultures, the Ibero-American series was born and now, 32 years later, the collection has a place in the numismatic world.
The common theme selected for the 13th edition of this series is ‘Ibero-American Capitals’.
The obverses of the coins depict the national coat of arms of the country issuing the coin, surrounded by the remainder.
The reverse depicts the image of an important capital of each of the eight participating countries: Argentina, Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal and Spain.
The cities chosen by each country are:
Argentina: Buenos Aires. Women's Bridge.
Ecuador: Quito. La Plaza Grande.
Guatemala: Antigua Guatemala. Arch of Santa Catalina.
Nicaragua: Managua, with its Salvador Allende Port.
Paraguay: Concepción. Nanawa Bridge.
Peru: Lima. Fountain of Fame and Cathedral of Lima.
Portugal: Lisbon, Bica Elevator.
Spain: Seville, with its Plaza de España.
A commemorative silver medal is included in the collection with the same technical specifications as the coins.
The obverse of the commemorative medal features, as on previous occasions, the coats of arms of all the participating countries, Argentina, Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, and Spain.
