Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the Community providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.
Issuing country: Spain
Subject of commemoration: UNESCO's World Natural and Cultural Heritage Sites — The Burgos Cathedral
Description of the design: The coin portrays a Burgos Cathedral view. The name of the issuing country ‘ESPAÑA’ appears at the upper left hand side. On the right hand side the year ‘2012’ and the mintmark.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
Number of coins to be issued: 8 million
