2026-M S€50 / Cinq 5oz Silver, The Thirteen Salutes PR DCAM

A ten-coin program issued by the Royal Spanish Mint to mark the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States, and to put on record the decisive part Spain played in it — from the campaigns of Bernardo de Gálvez on the Gulf Coast to the Spanish milled dollar that became the model for the first American dollar. Three coins were released in 2025 and seven in 2026.

Obverse Description

“The thirteen salutes” in color, set in an ornate base from which two arms emerge and crowned by thirteen stars for the colonies that declared independence in 1776: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

Reverse Description

Oval frames around the face value hold the portraits of every protagonist of the collection: Charles III, George Washington, Luis de Córdova, Francisco de Saavedra y Sangronis, José Solano y Bote and Bernardo de Gálvez.
