Mint

Royal Mint of Madrid (Real Casa de la Moneda de Madrid), Spain (1591-date)

Comments

The brass 1 peseta was nicknamed “La Rubia” (The Blonde), as it is issued with a woman's face in a golden-colored alloy.

During the conflict of the Spanish Civil War, the Royal Mint of Madrid was transferred, due to the siege of the Nationalists on Madrid, from the capital of Spain to Castellón (Valencian Community) and, later, to Aspe, in the province of Alicante ( Valencian Community).

This coin seems to have been issued when the Mint was in Castellón.
