Additional information

This piece belongs to Spain's Ibero-American series, launched in 1987 as a collaborative numismatic program between Spain and its former colonial territories — an initiative timed deliberately to build momentum toward the 1992 quincentennial of Columbus's first voyage. The Maya subject reflects the series' broader mandate to rotate pre-Columbian, colonial, and post-independence themes across participating nations.

Spain's 1989 output for this series was struck in relatively modest quantities compared to the commemorative floods that followed in 1992.
