Barelona in Spain hosted the 1992 Olympics, the 25th modern Olympiad. To celebrate this, Spain issued commemorative silver coins with a face value or denomination of 2,000 pesetas. Interestingly they are also described on the certificates which accompany them as 8 Reales, although the Real was last used in 1864. There were 16 different designs spread over a three year period from 1990 to 1992, although each coin bears the date 1992 in addition to its date of issue. All were issued in both uncirculated and proof versions.
