| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a cartographic representation of the European continent rendered without national borders, emphasising the unity of the European Union. The face value '2 EURO' is inscribed to the left of the map in bold relief, with the engraver's initials 'LL' (Luc Luycx) positioned beneath. The outer ring carries the twelve stars of the European Union evenly spaced around the circumference, consistent with the standard euro reverse design. |

The 2015 Spanish commemorative marks the 30th anniversary of the European flag's official adoption by the European Council — a decision taken in 1985, though the flag itself had been in use by the Council of Europe since 1955. Spain joined the European Communities that same year, January 1, 1986, meaning this issue quietly doubles as a near-anniversary of Spanish accession.
All twelve EU member states issued this joint commemorative simultaneously, each with a national obverse — a coordinated release that remains one of the more logistically complex multi-national coin programs the eurozone has undertaken.
