The Spanish Mint has issued a new commemorative 2 euro piece showing the portraits of both King Felipe VI and his abdicated father, King Juan Carlos I.

King Felipe VI succeeded to the Spanish throne on June 19, 2014 after his predecessor and father King Juan Carlos announced his intention to abdicate on June 2 after a 38 year reign. A ceremony which included the former King signing his abdication on the day as well as the proclamation of the new King was held the day after and televised to the nation. King Felipe married the former Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, an award-winning television journalist in 2004, who became Queen consort on the day of her husband’s proclamation. The couple’s first child, a daughter named Leonor was born in 2005 with the couple’s second child, Sofia born in 2007. With the accession of Felipe as King, Princess Leonor becomes her father’s heir and first in the order of succession to the Spanish throne.

The BU version comes presented in an official printed card coupled with the last regular circulating 2 euro with the effigy of king Juan Carlos I.

The proof version comes delivered in a jewel case coupled with the official sterling silver medal for the inauguration.
