| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central field depicts a full-length figure of Don Quixote de la Mancha seated cross-legged atop a stack of books, absorbed in reading an open volume held in both hands. The gaunt, bearded figure is rendered in a stylised relief against a divided background incorporating both mirror-like proof fields and brushed matte surfaces. The surrounding legend is inscribed along the upper and right periphery reading ESPAÑA 2005 and IV CENTENARIO DE LA PRIMERA EDICIÓN DE, with the concluding words EL QUIJOTE appearing inverted along the lower left, reflecting the coin's artistic design concept. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of Spain's multi-year commemorative program marking the 400th anniversary of the publication of Cervantes' Don Quixote, this piece corresponds to the episode in which Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are blindfolded and mounted on a wooden horse — Clavileño — convinced by the Duke's household that they are flying through the sky. The entire sequence is one of Cervantes' sharpest satires of chivalric romance, and the Duke and Duchess are themselves the butt of the joke as much as the knight.
