This sterling silver medal is dedicated to Ceuta, an autonomous city in Spain where different cultures mix: Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Jews.
Ceuta has more than two thousand years of history, where Punics, Romans, Vandals, Visigoths, Byzantines, Berbers, Mauritanians, Arabs, Portuguese and Spanish, among other peoples, passed through. Its birth dates back to Roman times. It played an important role during the Arab expansion in the Iberian Peninsula, being in the year 711 the gateway for the troops that conquered Tarifa, centuries later belonging to the dynasties of the Almoravids and the Almohads. Ceuta was integrated into the Spanish Crown with Philip II, in 1580. It became an Autonomous City in 1995.
On the obverse its regional coat of arms is shown.
On the reverse the crowned M is represented, Mint Mark of the Royal Mint.
