Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Centimos coin featuring Francisco Pi y Margall 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 particular coin was created during a time of economic hardship and material shortages, leading to the use of alternative materials like cardboard. This makes it a distinctive and rare coin among collectors.
