Interesting fact
The 5 Centimos (Martorell) ND (1937) coin made of cardboard is a unique and interesting piece due to its material. Cardboard was used as a substitute for traditional metals during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) when metals were scarce. This coin is a testament to the resourcefulness and resilience of the people of Martorell during a time of crisis.
