100 Euros Gaudí Centenary - La Sagrada Familia

This issue marks the centenary of Antoni Gaudí's death in 1926 — struck by a Barcelona tram, he was initially mistaken for a beggar and received delayed medical attention that almost certainly cost him his life. The basilica he devoted his final years to remains unfinished a century later, though completion is now projected for sometime in the 2030s under the direction of architect Jordi Fauli.

Spain's gold commemorative program has used the .999 fineness standard consistently since reforming its precious metal issues in the early 2000s, positioning these pieces firmly toward collector rather than bullion buyers.
