| Additional information |
The Royal Company of Marine Guards was established by Philip V in 1717 as a training corps to supply officers for the Spanish Navy, making it one of the earliest formal naval officer academies in Europe — predating Britain's Royal Naval College by decades. The 2017 issue marks the tercentenary of that founding, part of Spain's broader commemorative program under Felipe VI honoring institutions with deep Bourbon-dynasty roots.
The .925 silver composition aligns with Spain's standard commemorative specifications of the period, with production handled at the Madrid facility on Calle Jorge Juan.
