Interesting fact
The use of translucent celluloid in the production of this coin was a unique and innovative feature for a circulating coin at the time. It was a departure from the traditional metallic materials used in coin production and was intended to create a distinctive and easily recognizable currency for the municipality of Falset. The transparent nature of the material also made it difficult to counterfeit, adding an extra layer of security to the coin.
