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 used for Spanish euro coinage, symbolising the continuity of the monarchy within the framework of the European Union. The monarch's profile is oriented to the left, accompanied by the name of the country and the year of issue, with the twelve stars of the European flag encircling the portrait. This design reflects the constitutional role of the crown in Spanish public life and national identity. The coin is issued for general circulation and is also available in various collector formats. The mintage for this 2018 issue is 300,000 coins.
