Interesting fact
The 25 Centimos (Gratallops) ND (1937) coin was issued during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and features a unique design that reflects the political and social climate of the time. The coin's obverse features a portrait of a woman representing the Spanish Republic, surrounded by the words "REPUBLICA ESPAÑOLA" and the date "1937". The reverse features a stylized image of a grapevine, symbolizing the agricultural richness of the Gratallops region, and the denomination "25 CENTIMOS". The use of iron as the coin's material was likely a result of the wartime economy and the scarcity of other metals. Despite its humble design and material, this coin is a valuable piece of history that tells a story of a tumultuous period in Spanish history.
