Spain €2 Santiago de Compostela 2018 — Value and Rarity

This is a coin of both archaeological and religious significance. Specifically, we are talking about the €2 commemorative coin from Spain minted in 2018 in honor of Santiago de Compostela and the Cathedral erected in its name. Issued on 7/02/2018.

It is important to note that Santiago de Compostela in Italian is Giacomo il Maggiore, a disciple of Jesus, whose remains are believed to be located in the city of the same name. This has also inspired the famous pilgrimage route that thousands of people embark on each year.

On the Obverse, we can observe the representation of the sculpture of Santiago placed at the center of the Puerta Santa of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. To the left in a semicircle, we find the inscription ESPAÑA, while just below is the year of issue, with the symbol of the Madrid Mint underneath. Surrounding this are the 12 five-pointed stars, arranged along the outer crown of the coin; the stars are the recognized symbol of Europe.

On the Reverse, the coin features the Common Side, which is the same face as the other €2 coins.
