Obverse description The obverse features a portrait of Juan Sebastián de Elcano, derived from the painting held in the Naval Museum in Madrid, positioned centrally within the field. A compass rose is depicted above the portrait, while the coat of arms granted to Elcano by Emperor Charles V appears to the right. The lower portion of the field bears the Latin legend PRIMUS CIRCUMDEDISTI ME, the imperial motto awarded to Elcano in recognition of his achievement. Wind-rose grid lines extend across the background, evoking the cartographic and navigational character of the Age of Discovery. The country name ESPAÑA and the date 2022 appear within the legend.
