Dears,

The seller wrote that it's a notgeld from spanish civil war period, 15 centimos value.
Someone has informations about it?
Thank you in advance.

I tend to think that its not for few simple reasons.

It do not have the value in cents as "cts" "ctns" or "centimos"/"céntimos", as usual on the "emergency" coinage that was made here around the time of the civil war

Also you have only 3 leters, and nothing relate them to a specific city, region or similar, what was usual

In my opiniom, what you have here its most probably some kind of "remainder" of a child birthday or something like that

Edit.: the 15 probably its related to 1915

(My kwnoledge to make thoose comments come from browsing spanish webs from arround 1 year, I MAY BE WRONG, but i refer to the third paragraph)

Dear klei92,
I absolute agree with you: no value and no issue, mean not is an emergency coin. ​This I thought at the time of purchase (2 euros), but this token actually looks old, probably it could be 80 or 100 years old. I was curious to understand what it could be and your idea that it could be a kind of "remainder" of a child's birthday was something I really didn't think about. So I thank you for your information and dedicated time.

No problem at all

This kind of items are more or less common but of corse, each of them are kind of unique

For 2€, in my opinion, it is a nice piece of history, totally worth it and may i say thay its not common to see than kind of pricing, always around 5€ and up

Also to give you a little bit more of info, this kind of things were maid using as base a 5 or 10 céntimos Provisional Goberment 1870 (from Spain of corse). Do a little check of the measurements and you may find a match with one of them :P

Dear,
it looks like bronze, but it is a bit bigger than the 10c of 1870 and very very thin in comparison. In fact, the weight is 1.5 g against 10 g. Thank you again for your time


kindly regards

Throwing my 2 cents worth. I wouldn’t count out the possibility of some military ID. The initials may be a perso and the 15 related to a unit. These look like predated dog tags. If a match can be found, you have a good piece to hold onto.
Dear Wolves69,
I sent a message to an Italian forum that discuss about the Spanish Civil War. I'll inform you about it. Many thanks for your time.
