Comment

NOTE: Wrong name of the city in banknote, Aigües Tosses del Llobregat might be Aigüestoses del Llobregat

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: Aigüestoses del Llobregat (Current name: Sant Andreu de la Barca) - Province: Barcelona - Autonomous community: Catalonia

Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of cardboard, which is a unique and unusual material for coins. Most coins are made of metals like copper, nickel, or silver, but during times of war or economic hardship, other materials like cardboard, wood, or even playing cards have been used to create coins. This coin's use of cardboard is a testament to the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people who created it.
