The coin is dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation of the world.
\nUnder the command of Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan (1480\u20131521), the Carrack Nao Victoria became the first ship to successfully circumnavigate the world. The expedition began in August 1519 from the port of Seville. He was to sail west to the Moluccas in what is now Indonesia through Cape Horn or, as it was called, the Strait of Magellan between South America and Antarctica. The return voyage to Spain will pass through the Cape of Good Hope on the coast of South Africa.
\nJuan 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).
\nHis 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.
\nThe obverse, rendered in color, features a world map by Italian cartographer Battista Agnese and an image of the ship “Nao Victoria” from the collection of the National Library of Spain, superimposed on the map.
\nThe reverse features portraits of His Majesty King Philip VI and Her Majesty Queen Letizia.<\/p>\n
