| Obverse description | Central field features a three-quarter bust of Miguel de Cervantes, bearded and dressed in period Castilian attire with a ruffled collar, depicted in the act of writing with a quill pen upon a manuscript laid before him. The composition evokes the authorial genesis of Don Quixote, rendered in high-relief proof style. The legend ESPAÑA 2005 arcs across the upper right field, while IV CENTENARIO DE LA PRIMERA EDICIÓN DE EL QUIJOTE curves along the lower periphery. The design celebrates the 400th anniversary of the first edition of Cervantes's masterwork. |
