Comment

Local Spanish Civil War coins: Created by municipalities, cooperatives, unions and other organizations due to the scarcity of fiduciary currency in small purchases and exchanges during the Spanish Civil War.

Municipality: Benetúser - Province: Valencia - Autonomous community: Valencian Community

NOTE: Face value written on coin (0.25 Centimos) is a mistake, since it should have been 0.25 Pesetas or 25 Centimos.

Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it is made of cardboard, which is a unique and eco-friendly material for a coin. Most coins are made of metals like copper, nickel, or zinc, but this one is made of a renewable resource that is biodegradable and recyclable. This makes it a distinctive and environmentally conscious option for a coin.
