| Reverse description | The reverse displays the full-color coat of arms of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Asturias, prominently centered in the field and encircled by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, rendered in polychrome enamel with exceptional detail. The quartered shield incorporates the traditional heraldic elements of Castile, León, Aragon, Navarre, and Granada, surmounted by a royal closed crown. The denomination 40 EURO appears in large numerals to the upper right of the arms, while a textured circular area occupies the lower right field. The Madrid mint mark (M) appears below the shield. The circumferential legend reads 18 ANIVERSARIO S.A.R. LA PRINCESA DE ASTURIAS along the left and lower arc, with a bead border framing the entire composition. |

| Additional information |
This coin was issued to mark Princess Leonor's eighteenth birthday in October 2023 — the threshold at which she formally swore allegiance to the Spanish Constitution before the Cortes Generales, fulfilling the constitutional requirement that made her the confirmed heir to the throne. The ceremony, the first of its kind since Juan Carlos I swore the same oath in 1969, prompted the mint to issue several commemorative pieces in both silver and gold across different face values.
The 40-euro denomination is a modern Spanish convention reserved almost exclusively for royal commemoratives, untethered from any circulating coinage series.
