The Spanish 2 euro standard circulation coin features a portrait of King Felipe VI, who ascended to the throne in 2014. This design replaced the previous effigy of King Juan Carlos I, reflecting the transition of the Spanish monarchy. To the left of the royal portrait, the name of the country, ESPAÑA, is inscribed alongside the year of issue and the mint mark, which is represented by the crowned M of the Royal Mint of Spain. The twelve stars of the European Union encircle the central design on the outer ring of the coin, symbolising the unity and harmony of the continent. This standard issue was produced in 2015 with a mintage of 4,000,000 coins.
