500 Years of the circumnavigation of Magallanes
The expedition of Magallanes and Elcano was a maritime expedition, under the command of Ferdinand Magellan and financed by the Crown of Spain, which had its beginning in Seville on August 10, 1519. Although Magellan died at the Battle of Mactan (1522), One of the ships, the Victoria , captained by Juan Sebastián Elcano, returned to Spain at the beginning of September 1522, thus completing the first circumnavigation of the Earth in history.

600 Years of the discovery of Madeira Island
The Portuguese navigators discovered the island of Porto Santo in 1418, after a storm on the high seas, in which the boat moved away from its route, along the African coast, due to bad weather. After many days drifting on the high seas, they spotted a small island that they called Porto Seguro, Porto Santo, because it saved the crew from a fateful destination.
A year after the discovery of Porto Santo they arrived on the island of Madeira in 1419. Its name seems to have been attributed to it by this last navigator, who baptized the island «Madeira» ("Wood" in Spanish), due to the abundance of this raw material.
Of this coin, 520,000 pieces will be issued: 500,000 in rolls will be put into circulation, 10,000 in Bu quality and 10,000 in Proof quality will be put on sale.
