Interesting fact
The 60 Centimos coin featuring Emilio Castelar is a rare example of a coin made from cardboard. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican government issued a series of coins made from alternative materials, including cardboard, due to a shortage of metals. This coin, in particular, was issued in 1938 and weighs only 0.5 grams, making it a unique and lightweight collector's item.
