On the occasion of the celebration of International Women’s Day, and in honor of the educator and humanist María de Maeztu, the Royal Mint of Spain is issuing a new silver collector coin dedicated to a woman who was a standard bearer in the fight for women’s education.
On the reverse of the coin appears the portrait of “María de Maeztu, doctor honoris causa” of Smith College dating from 1919.
