| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of King Juan Carlos I occupies the centre of the coin, rendered in moderate relief with a plain truncation. The legend ESPAÑA arcs along the upper periphery, flanked on either side by a portion of the twelve five-pointed stars of the European Union arranged around the rim. The crowned M mintmark of the Madrid mint appears to the left of the portrait, with the year of issue struck below or adjacent to the effigy. The design was engraved by Luis José Díaz Salas in a restrained, contemporary style. |

Spain's euro coinage shifted to the revised "second map" reverse design in 2007, when the European Commission standardized the common side across all eurozone members to show the full European continent rather than the fragmented national-context maps used at launch. The Spanish national side, however, retained Juan Carlos I through this entire transitional period — even as his public standing deteriorated sharply following the 2012 elephant hunting scandal in Botswana, which broke during an economic crisis that had pushed Spanish unemployment above 25%.
