| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Mint of Spain's ongoing series celebrating the country's provincial capitals, this issue honors Córdoba — a city that served as the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate of al-Andalus and, at its tenth-century peak under Abd al-Rahman III, was arguably the largest and most sophisticated city in western Europe. The Mezquita-Catedral remains one of the most architecturally complex monuments on the continent, its construction spanning multiple caliphs over three centuries.
The .925 silver format for this denomination was introduced specifically for the provincial capitals series, distinguishing it from Spain's base-metal circulation issues.
