The Royal Mint of Spain, the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre, honors the 250 anniversary of the Royal School of Artillery with a new collector coin released Oct. 13.

The Proof .925 fine silver €10 coin shows the school’s coat of arms on the obverse, with the Alcázar de Segovia (Segovia Castle) on the reverse.
