Spain. II República-Guerra Civil. Moneda de Necesidad. Serie completa L'Atmella del Vallès 25 Céntimos 50 Céntimos (x2) 1 Peseta (x2).
During the turbulent period of the Spanish Second Republic and the subsequent Civil War (1931-1939), Spain faced severe economic and political challenges that led to a shortage of official currency in various regions. In response, local municipalities and organizations issued Necessity Money (Moneda de Necesidad) to facilitate everyday transactions. The series from L'Atmella del Vallès includes denominations of 25 Céntimos, 50 Céntimos, and 1 Peseta, with some denominations appearing in pairs, indicating multiple issues or variations. These coins or tokens not only served as emergency currency but also carry historical significance, representing local autonomy and resilience during a national crisis. Collectors and historians value these pieces for their insight into regional responses to wartime economics and the diverse designs reflecting local identity within Spain during this era.
