The Spanish Royal Mint (FNMT) has announced a historic launch for collectors. Next Monday, March 23 , the “Gaudí Centenary 2026” numismatic collection will be released, an exclusive series of seven commemorative coins that pay tribute to the genius of Catalan Modernism.This special broadcast commemorates Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926), whose architectural legacy is now a World Heritage Site.
Antonio Gaudí: The genius who revolutionized architecture
Antoni Gaudí not only transformed the landscape of Barcelona; he redefined the relationship between construction and nature. His style, characterized by the use of organic forms and curved geometries, positioned him as the foremost exponent of modernism worldwide.
Masterpieces represented in numismatics
Gaudí's legacy lives on in Spain's most visited buildings, which serve as inspiration for the design of this new collection:
The Holy Family: His crowning achievement and life project.
Park Güell: The perfect symbiosis between architecture and natural environment.
Casa Milà (La Pedrera): Unprecedented structural and aesthetic innovation.
Key fact: Gaudí dedicated his last years almost entirely to the Sagrada Familia, leaving a legacy that, a century later, continues to attract millions of people.
Details of the "Gaudí Centenary 2026" issue
The new series from the Royal Mint is designed for both coin collectors and art enthusiasts. These are the key features of the collection:
Exclusivity: Only seven coins make up the complete series.
Historical Value: Commemorates the official centenary (1926-2026).
Artistic Design: Each piece captures minute details of the facades and symbolic elements of the architect.
This collection is not just a numismatic collector's item; it is an investment in Spanish cultural heritage and a necessary tribute to one of the most influential figures in universal history.
Coins with a dimension of 8 Reales and a face value of 10 euros
The 10 euro coins introduce a distinctive element: the use of color. Minted in silver, these pieces stand out for translating the chromatic richness of Gaudí's work onto the metal surface.
The Sagrada Familia is illuminated with tones that enhance its spiritual character, while Park Güell displays its mosaics in all their splendor. Casa Milà, on the other hand, is depicted with a more subdued palette, highlighting its sculptural forms.
The result is very visually appealing coins, with immediate appeal even to those who are not regular collectors.
The common obverse features an image of Antoni Gaudí, taken by
photographer Pablo Audouard, and a mosaic designed by the Catalan architect; above these motifs appears his name, Antoni Gaudí. To the left of the portrait, in two lines and in capital letters, is the legend ESPAÑA and the year of minting, 2026.
A border with modernist motifs surrounds the motifs and legends.

In all of them, the balance between the shine of gold and the richness of the design creates pieces of great elegance.

The most impressive piece in the collection is undoubtedly the 400 euro coin. Minted in pure gold, its size and weight allow for a high level of detail in the depiction of the Holy Family.

On the front, the architect's portrait is integrated with organic forms that evoke his visual language.
