 【design】

 The surface features Goya's masterpiece, "The Naked Maja," created in the late 18th to early 19th century. At the center is a reclining female figure, flanked by Goya's portrait, signature, and the "M" mint mark of the Royal Spanish Mint. Around the edge are inscriptions "JUAN CARLOS I REY DE ESPAÑA" and the year of issue, "1996."

 On the reverse side, Goya's "Spring," also known as "The Flower Girl," a tapestry original, is meticulously reproduced. The figures' clothing, flowers, and trees are rendered in fine detail, and the series name "CULTURA Y NATURALEZA" and the price "10000 PTAS" are engraved around the edge.

 The proof finish, which contrasts a wide mirrored surface with a three-dimensional matte design, makes the details of the figures and clothing in Goya's works stand out impressively.

 [About Francisco de Goya]

 Francisco de Goya (1746–1828) was a leading Spanish painter and printmaker of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. While working as a court painter and creating portraits, he also sharply depicted society, war, and the inner lives of the human mind, greatly influencing later modern art.

 The painting "The Naked Maja," featured on this silver coin, is known as an innovative work that directly depicts a contemporary woman rather than a mythological goddess. "Spring" depicts figures in a bright and tranquil natural setting, offering a contrasting view of Goya's diverse artistic world.
