| Obverse description | Conjoined busts of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia in left-facing profile, with the king's effigy positioned slightly behind that of the queen, both rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The legend FELIPE VI Y LETIZIA arcs along the upper periphery, while ESPAÑA and the date 2015, flanked by a small fleur-de-lis ornament, appear along the lower rim. The coin is bordered by a continuous beaded inner circle. The portraits are finely detailed, capturing the facial features of the royal couple in a classical numismatic style. |

| Additional information |
This issue is one of a pair released by the Real Casa de la Moneda to mark the 410th anniversary of the first publication of Don Quixote, with Part II of Cervantes' novel appearing in 1615 — exactly four centuries before this coin's release date. Spain has returned to the Quixote well repeatedly for commemorative coinage, but the 2015 pairing was timed specifically to that centennial of the second volume, distinguishing it from earlier issues tied to the 2005 quadricentennial of Part I.
