The National Mint and Stamp Factory - Real Casa de la Moneda has issued two silver coins with facial features of 10 and 50 euros that commemorate the 450th Anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto, a battle that faced in the waters of the Gulf of Corinth in 1571 navy of the Ottoman Empire against the Holy League, made up of Spain, Venice, the Papacy and the Order of Malta.The Battle of Lepanto was the last and largest naval battle fought by rowing galleys, which took place on October 7, 1571 in the Gulf of Patras, on the western coast of Greece. It takes its name from the port of Lepanto.
Ottoman ships had been pushing for control of the western Mediterranean for years. The Italian and Spanish coasts were increasingly threatened and Malta was on the verge of being taken in 1565.
The Spanish Empire, the Papal States, the Republic of Venice, the Order of Malta, the Republic of Genoa and the Duchy of Savoy formed an alliance to confront the army of the Ottoman Empire and stop its advance, the so-called Holy League.
The main supporters of the Holy League were King Felipe II and Pope Pius V. The fleet of the Holy League was led by D. Juan de Austria while on the Ottoman side its leader was Commander Ali Bajá. The Holy League emerged victorious from the battle by reducing the Ottoman army to a bare minimum.
The battle confirmed the de facto division of the Mediterranean, with an eastern half under Ottoman control and a western region under the Habsburgs and their Italian allies.
