With the beginning of a new stage in the Spanish monarchy, Philip VI, King of Spain, is put into circulation a new Basic Series reproducing the effigy of the monarch. The image has been facilitated by the Royal House.

In monarchical countries, the series is illustrated with a portrait of the monarch, such as Britain, Sweden and Spain, while in the republics is used to known images of the country or allegorical figures such as Marianne, France.
