| Additional information |
Felipe VI was born on January 30, 1968, and ascended to the throne in June 2014 following the abdication of Juan Carlos I — the first Spanish abdication in nearly two centuries. The Royal Mint issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program that has accompanied major royal milestones since the transition to democracy, a tradition rooted in the mint's role as an instrument of dynastic legitimacy dating to its formal reorganization under Philip II in the sixteenth century.
The .925 silver specification places it within Spain's standard commemorative framework established in the 1990s.
