Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of cardboard, which is a unique material for coins. Most coins are made of metals like copper, silver, or gold, but this one was made of a lightweight, durable material that is not typically associated with currency. This choice of material may have been due to the economic and political circumstances of the time, as Spain was experiencing a civil war and there may have been a shortage of metals or other resources. The use of cardboard for coins was a common practice during this period in Spain, and it is an interesting example of how currency can be adapted to meet the needs of a specific historical context.
