| Beschrijving keerzijde | King Philip II (Felipe II) enthroned in majesty within an elaborate Renaissance architectural setting, flanked by two armored knights or guards, all rendered in high relief within a beaded inner circle. The composition evokes the imperial grandeur of 16th-century Spain, commemorating the Quincentennial. The circular legend reads ':QVINTO:CENTENARIO:' in the upper field, with the denomination 'M:40000:PTAS:' in the lower field, separated by the Madrid mint mark 'M' and a crowned mintmaster's mark, all within the beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Philip II's relocation of the royal court to Madrid, which effectively established the city as Spain's permanent capital — a decision Philip made in 1561 that reshaped the country's political geography for centuries. The choice was not inevitable; Toledo, Valladolid, and Seville all had stronger historical claims.
Spain's gold commemorative program of this period was designed partly with an eye toward the 1992 quincentennial cycle, with multiple high-denomination issues seeding collector interest across the preceding years.
