Interesting fact
The 5 Céntimos (Calella) ND (1937) coin made of Cardboard is a rare and unique coin that was issued during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) as a substitute for traditional metallic coins, which were in short supply at the time. The use of cardboard as a material for coins was a temporary measure implemented by the Republican government to address the shortage of coinage caused by the war. This coin is a fascinating piece of history that highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of the people during times of crisis.
