Comments

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: Esparreguera - Province: Barcelona - Autonomous community: Catalonia

NOTE (1): Later issue (Turró#943) was made with a similar shape and design, but with a different font in the face value and with a coat of arms on reverse.

NOTE (2): There are two variants of this oval coin:

 

  • Turró#938 (Thin lettering of face value) (Image below from Aureo & Calico website)
     




 

  • Turró#939 (Thick lettering of face value) (Image of this page)
