| Additional information |
Issued as part of Spain's long-running numismatic art series, this coin reproduces Dalí's 1941 self-portrait painted during his American exile, a period when he was simultaneously celebrated by New York society and condemned by André Breton's Surrealist circle for commercialism. The series itself was an unusual institutional commitment — the Real Casa de la Moneda partnered with the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation in Figueres, which controls reproduction rights jealously and rarely licenses them to state mints.
Mintage for the Spanish art coins of this era was typically capped at 10,000 pieces, keeping secondary market premiums firm despite modest face value.
