I have uploaded flag and two coats of arms of Iberia, proposed country on the Iberian Peninsula. Now I write some other information about it. Iberia can begin as personal union of Spain and Portugal at the beginning of modern age, or during World War I where Spain conquers area of Portugal. It can be Francoist and then the king is restored. Iberia is kingdom consisting of four republics (Spain, Portugal, Catalonia, Basque Country) and one federal district - the capital Olivenza. Autonomous regions are Galicia in Portugal and Andalusia in Spain. Official languages are Spanish (statewide, preferred in Spain), Interlingua (statewide, preferred in statewide affairs like English in India), Portuguese (in Portugal and Olivenza), Basque (Basque Country includes Navarre) and Catalan (Catalonia includes Valencia and Balearics). Locally co-official are Asturian, Galician and Mirandese (Aran Valley is not part of Iberia). Time zone is GMT, internet domain .ib, there are four football representations (one for each republic), but at Olympics there is common Iberian team. Iberia is member of CPLP. Iberia is member of Eurozone and its euro coins have this design:
1c - map of Iberia, simple enough for so small coin
2c - pomegranate, symbol of Andalusia, but common in whole Iberia
5c - Francis Xavier, Basque saint popular in Portugal too
10c - Sagrada Familia, symbol of both Catalonia and former Spain
20c - Portuguese seal (or some other Portuguese theme?)
50c - Cervantes, great figure of Spanish language
1€ - CoA of Iberia
2€ - king (who other than Juan Carlos?).
My rendition of these designs is in this gallery (I can imagine better).

Unanswered questions:
Should Gibraltar join Iberia? If yes, should it be part of Spain or federal district?
What language should be official in Iberian colonies (mainly former Portuguese)?
Preserve Portuguese, or rather switch to Spanish (or Esperanto)?
And what should be next country to be "recreated" in this timeline?
