About the coin: this 80,000 peso coin was issued to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Segovia Mint. The Mint of Segovia is without a doubt the most exclusive of all the mints in the history of Spain and its overseas territories. Invented, built, and managed as the king’s private property, it was attached to the Board of Works and Forests, which administered the Royal Houses and Places, and other mints administered the treasury. Exceptional history, innovative technology, and the fame he enjoyed in his time. It was a complete and modern industrial plant divided into divisions designed by Juan de Herrera and a German team dedicated to the production of a mechanical and serial complex high-precision product two centuries before the Industrial Revolution. Today, it is the oldest, most advanced, and most comprehensive example of an industrial factory that has been preserved in mankind.
