Spain 25-PESETAS (KM948)

Bulls

This coin was issued in 1995 to commemorate Castile and León, an autonomous community in north-western Spain.

On the coin's reverse are the Bulls of Guisando, a set of four large granite sculptures carved by Celtic-speaking people circa the second century BCE. Some people think they might actually be pigs, but the consensus is with bulls, especially since they have holes that are believed to have been sockets for horns.

Thanks to Maria for gifting this coin!
