Obverse description	Central to the obverse is a front-facing draped bust effigy of Admiral Luis de Córdova y Córdova, rendered in the manner of an 18th-century Spanish naval portrait, wearing an elaborately decorated uniform with epaulettes and ornamental collar. The bust is contained within an oval inner frame, flanked symmetrically by laurel branches in low relief. The upper field carries the commemorative legend '250 ANIVERSARIO DECLARACIÓN DE INDEPENDENCIA DE LOS EE. UU. - 1776' arcing above the portrait, with 'ALMIRANTE LUIS DE CÓRDOVA' inscribed below it. The issuer name 'ESPAÑA' and the date '2026' are presented in the lower exergue within a decorative cartouche. The overall composition reflects a classical commemorative style consistent with Spanish royal mint engraving traditions.

Reverse description	The reverse presents a finely detailed depiction of the Spanish first-rate ship of the line Santísima Trinidad under full sail, the vessel navigating to the left in a composition derived from period engravings, with her multiple gun decks, rigging, and billowing sails rendered in careful relief against an open sea. The ship's name 'SANTÍSIMA TRINIDAD' is inscribed in the upper field. In the lower field, the denomination '10 EURO' appears alongside the Madrid mint mark 'M', while the commemorative legend 'REVOLUTIONARY WAR' arcs along the lower border. The design honours the vessel's role in the broader Atlantic theatre of the American Revolutionary War, during which Admiral Córdova commanded Spanish naval forces.
