Spain 2 Euro 2020 Mudejar Architecture of Aragon

This is the 2020 Spanish 2 Euro coin. Since 2010 Spain has issued a 2 Euro coin every year where the subject is a building of a certain region. The theme of this coin is the Mudejar architecture of Aragon. The Mudejar architecture of Aragon developed in the province of Aragon at the end of the 12th century. When Christians reclaimed large tracts of land from the Muslim population in the 12th century the population remained in harmony with each other. The architectural style that emerged is a mix of Islamic and Gothic ideals which led to a unique architectural style. In the province of Aragon there are 10 monuments, four of which are located in Teruel and three are in Zaragoza. The Mudejar Architecture of Aragon received UNESCO status in 1986 and is a World Heritage Site. On the face of the coin is the tower, located in Teruel, 'de El Salvador'. The text 'Arquitectura Mudejar de Aragon' (Mudejar architecture of Aragon) is shown in an arc at the top of the coin. The country name ESPAÑA (Spain) is displayed vertically on the left and the year of issue 2020 is shown on the right. The coin is packaged in a printed coin holder.
