To mark the centenary of the death of Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre is dedicating a collection of commemorative coins to the most internationally renowned Spanish painter of his time and one of the leading figures in the history of Spanish art as a whole.
The obverse is a colour reproduction of the work entitled "Paseo a la orilla del mar", painted by Joaquín Sorolla in 1909.
On the reverse is a reproduction of the work entitled "El balandrito", painted by Joaquín Sorolla in 1909.
Both paintings are housed in the Museo Sorolla, Madrid.
