Admiral José Solano y Bote was another of the most prominent Spanish naval officers in the conflict against the British. The obverse of this coin pays homage to the military man from Extremadura, whose escort of a convoy of 105 ships and 12,500 soldiers to reinforce the troops on the battlefront (1780) was considered a remarkable achievement.

Upon returning to Spain, he was named Marquis of Socorro for his invaluable contribution to the war. Years later, he would become the 9th Captain-General of the Spanish Navy.
