| Obverse description | Central field depicts a faithful numismatic rendering of Francisco Goya's celebrated painting 'La Maja Desnuda' (The Nude Maja), portraying a reclining nude female figure at ease upon a draped bed of cushions and pillows, her gaze directed toward the viewer. The composition faithfully captures the relaxed pose and sensuous drapery of the original canvas. The legend 'JUAN CARLOS I REY DE ESPAÑA' arcs across the upper field, identifying the issuing monarch, while the artist attribution 'Fran.co de Goya' and the date '1996' appear in the lower field. The mint mark 'M' for the Royal Mint of Madrid is also present. The overall design is executed in high-relief proof finish, emphasizing the painterly quality of the original artwork. |
