The legend around the periphery reads JUAN CARLOS I ESPAÑA with the mint mark M and the denomination 2000 PTAS. The composition is rendered in a formal heraldic style with fine engraving detail in the shields and surrounding ornaments. |

| Reverse description | A right-facing crowned portrait effigy of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in full armor, holding a sword, rendered in a late medieval aesthetic closely modeled on the coinage issued in his name at Besançon. The composition commemorates the 500th anniversary of his birth, as indicated by the date span 1500-2000 flanking the central portrait. The peripheral legend CAROLVS IMPERATOR arcs above the effigy in the classical Roman epigraphic style characteristic of imperial coinage of the period. |
