Interesting fact
The 1 Peseta (Granadella) coin from the Municipality of La Granadella in the Province of Lleida, made of plastic (opaque celluloid), is a unique and rare coin that was issued in the 1930s as a substitute for the official Spanish currency due to a shortage of metallic coins during the Civil War. Its design features the image of a woman representing the municipality, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and the inscription "La Granadella" at the top, and the value "1 Peseta" at the bottom. This coin is a fascinating piece of history that highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of the people of La Granadella during a time of great turmoil.
