| Reverse description | The reverse presents two facing laureate and draped busts in high relief set against a mirror-polished field, depicted in opposition: to the left, the right-facing effigy of King Carlos III of Spain, laureate and wearing period court dress with lace cravat; to the right, the left-facing effigy of George Washington, shown with powdered wig tied at the nape. The denomination '10 EURO' is inscribed in large characters across the upper field. Below the busts, the legends 'CARLOS III' and 'WASHINGTON' identify each portrait respectively, with the Madrid Mint mark (M) centred between them. The inscription 'REVOLUTIONARY WAR' appears along the lower rim, enclosed within a decorative rope border encircling the entire reverse. |

| Additional information |
The bald eagle has no geographic or historical connection to Spain, which makes this issue something other than a commemorative in any traditional sense. The Royal Mint of Madrid has operated an aggressive bullion and collector program for decades, producing coins under licensing arrangements for foreign clients and themes with broad international commercial appeal. This piece almost certainly targets the American collector market directly.
