| Obverse description | The obverse features a large draped bust of Juan Sebastián Elcano facing slightly right, rendered in high relief against a stylized background of radiating sun rays and a prominent compass rose or navigational star in the left field. To the right, a smaller inset oval portrait depicts Emperor Carlos V (Charles V) in profile, inscribed with the legend CARLOS V beneath. The curved legend JUAN SEBASTIÁN ELCANO arcs along the lower rim, while ESPAÑA 2021 is inscribed along the upper arc. The composition evokes the Age of Exploration through its dynamic interplay of portraits and nautical cartographic motifs. |
