| Obverse lettering | ISABEL I DE CASTILLA 1451-1504 CASTILLO DE LA MOTA ESPAÑA (Translation: ISABEL I OF CASTILLA 1451-1504 CASTLE OF LA MOTA SPAIN) |
| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces a detailed fragment of the oil painting La rendición de Granada (The Surrender of Granada) by Francisco Pradilla Ortiz, the original of which is preserved in the Palacio del Senado, Madrid. The scene depicts the ceremonial surrender of the city of Granada in 1492, a pivotal moment in the conclusion of the Reconquista. The composition captures multiple figures in period dress, conveying the solemnity and historical weight of the event. The denomination 50 EURO and the mint mark M appear within the design field, integrated alongside the legend identifying the depicted scene. The rendering of the painterly source material into a struck-coin format demonstrates a high level of engraving craftsmanship characteristic of large commemorative Spanish issues. |
