Europa Program - Charles V
Introduction
In 2004, coinciding with the expansion of the European Union, several Mints in the old Continent joined together in the numismatic program entitled Europa, to mint collector coins with a common topic.
The third series of coins in this Program was issued during 2006, the theme being «Prominent Europeans». On this occasion the Spanish Royal Mint minted one gold and one silver coin dedicated to the Emperor Charles V (1500-1558), a pioneer of the idea of Europe and a symbol for the European Union as a whole.
Minted in proof quality, the collector coins in this third series of the Europa Program are presented in stylish jewel cases.
The coins may be purchased either boxed singly, or as the complete set of both coins presented in the same case.
