Interesting fact
The 30 Centimos coin featuring Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos is a rare example of a coin made from cardboard. Due to the economic difficulties faced by Spain during the 1930s, the government was forced to use alternative materials for coin production, resulting in the creation of these unique cardboard coins. This coin, in particular, is one of the lowest denominations issued during this time and is highly sought after by collectors.
