Interesting fact

The 50 Centimos coin from Arenys de Mar (Province of Barcelona) made of Aluminium weighing 1.7g is a rare and unique coin, as it was minted in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. The coin was issued by the municipality of Arenys de Mar as a substitute for the official currency of Spain, the peseta, which was in short supply at the time. The use of aluminum as the material for the coin was also unusual, as most coins were made of more traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold. This coin is a fascinating piece of history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
