Interesting fact
The 5 Centimos coin featuring Blasco Ibañez, a Spanish writer and journalist, was part of a series of coins issued during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) to raise funds for the Republican cause. The coin was made of cardboard, which was a common material used for emergency currency during times of war due to its durability and low cost. Despite its humble material, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
