| Obverse description | The obverse features a detailed color reproduction of a central fragment from Diego Velázquez's celebrated masterpiece 'Las Meninas' (1656), housed in the Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid. The scene depicts the Infanta Margarita Teresa surrounded by her ladies-in-waiting, dwarfs, and courtiers, rendered in faithful polychrome enamel coloring. The inscription 'LAS MENINAS' appears in the field, flanked by the date '2024' and the issuer designation 'ESPAÑA'. The composition faithfully captures Velázquez's distinctive use of light, shadow, and spatial depth characteristic of his mature Baroque style. |
