The 2018 Spain 2 euro commemorative coin honours the historic city of Santiago de Compostela, which is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The national side features the central figure of the Apostle Saint James, depicted in the iconic style of the Puerta Santa, or Holy Door, of the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. This site remains one of the most significant destinations in Europe, serving as the culmination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route that has shaped the cultural and religious landscape of the Iberian Peninsula for centuries. By highlighting this architectural and spiritual landmark, the coin celebrates the enduring historical legacy of the city. This 2018 issue has a mintage of 300,000 coins.
