In 2019, the Royal National Mint and Stamp Factory began issuing a series of four coins, one per year, dedicated to commemorating the V Centenary of the First Around the World. Next Monday, July 4, the fourth and last piece of the series will be broadcast, a series with which we have accompanied Juan Sebastián Elcano on the first circumnavigation of the Earth during the last four years, the same ones that the trip lasted.

The fourth and last coin of the V Centenary of the First Voyage Around the World commemorates the arrival in Spain of the Nao Victoria in September 1522 under the command of the navigator Juan Sebastián Elcano, with only 18 crew members, after completing the first circumnavigation of the world.

His arrival marked the end of the expedition that, promoted by the Castilian crown, set sail in September 1519 in search of the Spice Islands, in the confines of the demarcation of the Treaty of Tordesillas, under the command of Fernando de Magallanes, with 5 ships and about 250 crew members. Emperor Carlos V named Elcano as "PRIMUS CIRCUMDEDISTI ME". He is the first man to circumnavigate the world, as it appears on his coat of arms.

On the reverse, a representation of the arrival of the ship Victoria in Seville is reproduced in colour. At the top of the coin, horizontally and in capital letters, the value of the piece 10 EURO; on the left, the Mint mark. At the bottom of the coin, in a circular direction and in capital letters, the legend V CENTENARIO DE LA VUELTA AL MUNDO.

On the obverse, the image of Juan Sebastián Elcano is reproduced, taken from the portrait that is kept in the Naval Museum of Madrid. On the left, a compass rose. On the right, the coat of arms of Juan Sebastián Elcano; below, in capital letters and horizontally, the legend JS ELCANO. At the top of the coin, in a circular direction and in capital letters, the legend ESPAÑA 2022. At the bottom of the
coin, the legend PRIMUS CIRCUMDEDISTI ME. Occupying the entire bottom of the coin, some lines as a wind grid.
