The façade of the Bank of Spain, seen from the Plaza de Cibeles, appears on the 1994 silver 2000 pesetas issued for the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Madrid. The meetings fell on the fiftieth anniversary of the 1944 Bretton Woods conference that created both institutions.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance order of 8 July 1994 describes the reverse: the Bank of Spain façade from the Cibeles side, the logo of the joint assembly and the inscription «Madrid Asamblea FMI-BM», the mint mark and the denomination. The upper oval holds a latent image that shows either the Madrid mint mark or the figures «94» as the coin is tilted. The obverse, with the profile of King Juan Carlos I and the legend «JUAN CARLOS I REY DE ESPAÑA», is by Manuel Martínez Tornero, the reverse by Luis José Díaz Salas.

The bank building was designed by Eduardo Adaro and opened in 1891; it was later extended several times, most recently to a design by Rafael Moneo in 2006.

The coin was legal tender: public offices accepted it without limit, and private parties up to 20,000 pesetas in a single payment. For a collection it appeals as a coin about money and finance and as an example of a latent image on Spanish silver.

UNC condition: the coin has not circulated, shows no wear and keeps its mint lustre, with the fine detail of the façade and the latent oval clearly legible.

A coin from the VPcoins catalogue is a gift that is interesting to examine and has a story worth telling.
