Comment
Segarra de Gaià is currently called Santa Coloma de Queralt.The realization of this second issue of copper and copper-nickel coins (popularly called "segarretes") was entrusted to the company "Metalls Vidua de Salvador Solà" from Barcelona and it was the one that supplied the material and had them minted in the company " Fidel Armadons" of Barcelona.
There are counterfeit coins of this issue.
In Standard Catalog of Worl Coins 1901-2000, mintage is wrong, since it indicates 30,000 units and 5,000 were actually issued.
