This brand new coin is being issued by the European Union. On the back side, it shows El Drac, possible the most famous symbol of the city of Barcelona. It is part of Park Guell, one of Gaudi's masterpieces. This is depicting a salamander, or a dragon as some people put it. It is located in the middle of the starcase, leading up to the underside of the park. The dragon is a fountain and is covered in tiles to create a mosaic. This dragon was featured in a few movies and films including Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
