10 Euro Centenary of Radio 1924-2024. Silver. Proof

14 November 2024 marks the centenary of the first radio broadcast in Spain, a milestone that marked the beginning of a revolution in communication.

In the centre, the years 1924 and 2024. At the bottom of the coin is the mintmark. Surrounding the motifs and legends is a graphite depicting radio waves. The obverse shows an allegorical image of a radio emitting words and musical notes on a background in the shape of the map of Spain. At the top of the coin is the legend ESPAÑA (SPAIN), with radio waves above it. On the lower part of the coin, in a circular shape and in capital letters, is the legend CENTENNIAL OF THE CENTENNIAL OF THE RADIO.l.
