A #numismatic work of art, designed, and struck, in a secret workshop in Barcelona, on behalf of the Uni贸 Catalanista, in 1900, to be sold to raise money for #Catalan Independence. The great sculptor, Venanci Vallmitjana I Barbany (1826-1919) designed the series - this is a copper 5 centims. #coins #coincollecting #numismatics #numismatists #ViscaCatalunyaLliure
The 10 centims - same design but a bit larger #numismatics #numismaticssocial #coincollecting
A silver 1 pesseta in the Uni贸 Catalanista series - different reverse with a heraldic shield surmounted by a helm
One of the great prides of my collection - the chunky 5 pessetes of the Uni贸 Catalanista series - a crown-sized silver coin, history as above #numismatics #numismatic #numismaticssocial #numismatist #coincollecting #ViscaCatalunyaLliure
