Europa Program - Antoni Gaudí

Introduction

Under the "European Heritage" theme the Real Casa de la Moneda has minted the 7th series of collector coins in the Europa Program. On this occasion the issue was dedicated to Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926), a universally-recognized figure of architecture and the Catalonian modernist style.

The reverse of the coins is dedicated to the «Temple Expiatori» of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the artist's masterpiece, known and admired the world over. In 1883 Antoni Gaudí agreed to continue the work recently initiated in the Temple. He completely altered the initial project and from 1915 onwards until his death in 1926 he devoted practically his entire life to it.

Other releases under the Europa Program: (2004) (2005) (2006) (2007) (2008) (2009) (2011)
