A stamp coin, cardboard coin, cardboard banknote or cardboard
coin was a means of payment consisting of a disc of this material, about 35
millimetres in diameter and weighing approximately 0.5 grams, issued "on a
temporary basis" by the Government of the Second Spanish Republic by ministerial
order promulgated in Barcelona on 24 February 1938 and provided free of charge
by the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre in order to try to mitigate the
progressive scarcity of metal (especially silver and copper) inherent in the
last days of the Spanish Civil War, which is why it is usually considered by
specialists as a "currency of necessity" or "emergency currency".
