Interesting fact
The 10 Céntimos (Llagostera) ND (1937) coin from the Municipality of Llagostera (Province of Girona) made of Cardboard is a rare and unique coin that was created during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) as a substitute for traditional metallic 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 coinage caused by the war. This coin is a fascinating piece of history and a testament to the resourcefulness and resilience of the people of Llagostera during a time of great crisis.
