Comment
During the conflict of the Spanish Civil War, the Royal Mint of Madrid was transferred, due to the siege of the Nationalists on Madrid, from the capital of Spain to Castellón (Valencian Community) and, later, to Aspe, in the province of Alicante ( Valencian Community).
This coin seems to have been issued when the Mint was in Castellón and Aspe.
