The Mint says about this coin:

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker regarded both as the last of the Old Masters and as the first of the moderns. Goya was a court painter to the Spanish Crown and a chronicler of history. The subversive and subjective element in his art, as well as his bold handling of paint, provided a model for the work of later generations of artists, notably Manet and Picasso. Two of Goya’s best known paintings are The Nude Maja (La maja desnuda) and The Clothed Maja (La maja vestida). They depict the same woman in the same pose, naked and clothed, respectively. Without a pretence to allegorical or mythological meaning, the painting was “the first totally profane life-size female nude in Western art”. The paintings were never publicly exhibited during Goya’s lifetime, but they were confiscated by the Inquisition for a time until they were returned to their owner, Manuel de Godoy, the Prime Minister of Spain and a favourite of the Queen, María Luisa.
