| Additional information |
This coin was issued as part of a series celebrating Spain's autonomous communities, a constitutional arrangement that had been fiercely contested since the transition from Francoism. Asturias held particular symbolic weight in that political settlement — it was the region where the Nationalist uprising of October 1934 was crushed with exceptional violence, and where Francisco Franco himself directed the military suppression before his later rise to national power.
