The description of this item has been automatically translated. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
The artist Marco Ventura places the image of Saint James at the center of the coin, referring to the common iconography which shows us a man with a long beard, dressed in a pilgrim's cloak, staff and bag. On the wide-brimmed hat there is a shell, a symbol of life and rebirth. James was the first martyr apostle. His remains were transported to Galicia, where in 830, thanks to a phenomenon of lights similar to stars, they were found and in that place in 1075 the construction of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela (Campus Stellae) began, which became one of the most important pilgrimage destinations.
