Interesting fact
The 10 Centimos (Martorell) ND (1937) coin made of Cardboard is a rare and unique coin that was issued during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) as a substitute for metal coins, which were in short supply at the time. The use of cardboard as a material for coins was a temporary measure implemented by the Republican government to address the shortage of metals caused by the war. This coin is a fascinating piece of history that highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of the people during times of crisis.
