€10 Colored Silver Coin Spain 2022 – 500th Anniversary of the first trip around the world

The coin is dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation of the world.

Juan Sebastian Elcano (1486-1526) made the first round-the-world voyage on the ship Victoria as part of the expedition of Ferdinand Magellan to the Spice Islands (Moluccas).

His success in traveling to the Spice Islands led to another great expedition, this time led by the nobleman Garcia Jofre de Loaysa, but this mission was unsuccessful and Elcano died during it in the Pacific Ocean.

Obverse: “Nao Victoria” enters the port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda in September 1522. This scene symbolizes the end of the adventurous expedition begun by Ferdinand Magellan and completed by Juan Sebastian Elcano.
Reverse: portrait of Juan Sebastian Elcano and his coat of arms, wind rose.
