To mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, a special series of collector coins has been issued. Reflecting this theme in their designs, the coins highlight Spain’s contribution to the success of the war in favour of the thirteen American colonies.

On the obverse of the first coin, within an ornate decorative base from which two arms emerge, appears an anonymous portrait of José Solano y Bote.

The reverse features an image representing the “Fleet of the Hundred Ships”.
