The Spanish 2 euro standard circulation coin features the portrait of King Felipe VI, who ascended to the throne in 2014. This design maintains the traditional national side motif established for the Spanish euro series, representing the continuity of the monarchy within the modern constitutional framework of the nation. To the left of the royal effigy, the name of the issuing country, España, is inscribed alongside the mint mark of the Royal Mint of Spain. The year of issue appears on the right side of the portrait, framed by the twelve stars of the European Union arranged in a circle around the outer ring. This standard issue was produced in 2016 with a total mintage of 4,700,000 coins.
