| Obverse description | The obverse features a reproduction of El Greco's portrait painting 'Caballero Anciano' (Portrait of an Old Man), preserved in the Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid. The composition presents the solemn, three-quarter bust of an elderly gentleman rendered in El Greco's characteristic elongated and expressive style, set within the coin's field. The inscription 'ESPAÑA 2011' appears in the legend, accompanied by the artist's name 'El Greco'. The design faithfully translates the painterly chiaroscuro of the original work into the relief medium of the coin. |
