Comment

The Interprovincial Council of Santander, Palencia and Burgos was a governing body established on 8 February 1937 to coordinate the Republican areas in Cantabria (then officially called the Province of Santander), Palencia and Burgos during the Spanish Civil War. The council was dissolved in August 1937 after the occupation of the region by Nationalist forces.

Interesting fact

The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of King Alfonso XIII, while the reverse side features an image of the coat of arms of the three provinces, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This coin is particularly interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and economic turmoil in Spain, and its design reflects the country's efforts to promote regional identity and unity. Additionally, the use of copper-nickel in the coin's minting process was a deliberate choice to create a durable and long-lasting currency that would withstand the wear and tear of everyday use.
