| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a detailed engraving of the Royal Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real) in the upper half, rendered in a formal architectural perspective. In the lower half, formal garden parterres and a monumental fountain with an equestrian statue are depicted. An oval cartouche in the upper field contains a right-facing bust of Queen Sofía of Spain, inscribed SOFIA REINA DE ESPAÑA / PRESIDENTA DE HONOR around the portrait. The Madrid civic monogram (crowned M) appears to the lower left of the palace. The circumferential legend MADRID CAPITAL EUROPEA DE LA CULTURA arcs around the upper and sides of the coin, with the date 1992 at the base flanked by two dots. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 25 ECU denomination was a pan-European collector issue tied to the European Currency Unit, the basket-weighted precursor to the euro that never physically circulated but was used in official EU accounting from 1979 onward. Spain issued several ECU pieces around 1992, a year carrying double symbolic weight: the quincentenary of Columbus's first voyage and the Barcelona Summer Olympics, both of which generated an enormous volume of Spanish commemorative output that year.
At 168.75 grams, this is among the heaviest silver issues in that program — a size dictated by the face value convention linking ECU denominations to specific silver weights established by royal decree.
