Authors notes
Melilla
Nestled on the northwest coast of Africa, Melilla is a vibrant Spanish autonomous city that shares its borders with Morocco. As one of only two Spanish cities permanently inhabited in mainland Africa-alongside the nearby Ceuta-it holds a unique place in history. Once part of the Province of Málaga, Melilla gained its Statute of Autonomy on March 14, 1995, marking a new chapter in its rich legacy.This remarkable coin commemorates the 500th Anniversary of Spain's Conquest of Melilla in 1497. Its design beautifully weaves together ancient and modern symbols, celebrating the cultural and historical tapestry that makes Melilla so significant. To me, it represents not just a place but an inspiring journey through time, reflecting the resilience and diversity of its spirit.
