On the Camino

A new €2 coin has been produced in Spain this year. On one side it has an image of Santiago Peregrino as he appears in the central arch of the Holy Door of Santiago's Cathedral whilst behind him is a representation of an archway of the Cathedral. On the coin's left written in capitals and in ascending circular direction is written 'Spain' and below this the year of minting 2018. As always the outer edge of the coin has the 12 stars of the European Union. 

The Spanish Post Office produced this stamp for the Holy Year in 2010 It seems it was also released with a commemorative coin
