| Reverse description | The reverse features raised reproductions of both sides of the historic Dobla of 25 Maravedís, struck under King Alfonso XI of Castile (1312–1350), displayed side by side in the central field. The left medallion depicts a castle, while the right medallion shows a lion passant, both surrounded by Gothic legends replicating the original medieval coin's inscriptions. Arching above the two coin images is a partial ring of twelve stars, with the denomination '30 EUROS' prominently inscribed at the top of the field. Below the coin images, the inscriptions '25 MARAVEDÍS del REY ALFONSO XI (1312-1350)' and 'UNA ONZA TROY DE PLATA FINA' appear in the lower field, the latter following the curve of the beaded border. |

The Junta de Castilla y León issued this piece under the regional commemorative authority granted to Spanish autonomous communities in the 1990s — a period when several regions exercised that privilege to produce legal-tender silver issues aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation. Castilla y León, the largest autonomous community in the European Union by area, had particular motivation to assert a distinct regional identity through such issues ahead of the peseta's absorption into the euro.
