400 Euros from Spain. Issued in 2009. Struck in Gold (.999). Measures 38 mm and weighs 27 g.

Obverse
This coin reproduces on his obverse an interpretation of the oil "Galarina" (1944-1945), magnificent portrait of Gala, his muse, for which he felt deep admiration and, which is preserved, like the rest of the paintings reproduced in this collection - except for the oil "The Temptation of San Antonio" -, in the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, in Figueres (Girona).
Reverse
The reverse side of this coin reproduces the central scene of the oil painting "Tristán e Isolda" (1944), a legend of medieval origin that refers to the story of two lovers, whose impossible love attracted Dalí's attention.
