Five hundred years ago five ships left Spain in search of new routes to the Island of Species. Four years later only one arrived, captained by Juan Sebastián Elcano, thus being the first to go around the world. Celebrating this historic trip, the National Mint and Doorbell Factory - Real Casa de la Moneda will dedicate a series of four coins, one per year, to commemorate the journey. In this 2019, on September 16, the first currency is issued under the name of «The Game».
On the back of the coin a scene with five ships across the sea is reproduced in colors. At the top of the coin, horizontally and in capital letters, the value of the piece 10 EURO; on the left, the Ceca brand; on the right, the coat of arms of Juan Sebastián Elcano. At the bottom of the coin, in a circular sense and in capital letters, the legend V CENTENARY OF THE ROUND THE WORLD.
On the obverse, two images of Juan Sebastián Elcano and Fernando de Magallanes are reproduced, taken from the portraits of both that are preserved in the Naval Museum of Madrid. Above these images, a wind rose. On the right, inside an oval, detail of the head of the sculptural work entitled Carlos V, made by Leone and Pompeo Leoni, which is preserved in the Museo Nacional del Prado, in Madrid; below, in capital letters, the legend CARLOS V and, below, the date 2019. On the top of the coin, in a circular sense and in capital letters, the legend SPAIN. At the bottom of the coin, the legends ELCANO and MAGALLANES, separated by a hyphen. Occupying the entire bottom of the coin, some lines as a wind grid.
