<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bert Gedin, post: 2979831, member: 92556&quot;]Hi Dave363 - Think I&#039;ve got the same kind of Coin, displayed here. I haven&#039;t seen the reverse, where you say it&#039;s stamped 1949, so I&#039;ll just have to assume it&#039;s 1947. It is from, then, fascist Spain. Franco, the &quot;caudillo&quot; (fuhrer), was ally to Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. Those countries had assisted him, greatly, in the Spanish Civil War. Franco lived to rule Spain, as a fascist dictatorship, for many years, until he died. He had been absolutely merciless, even long after Spain&#039;s Civil War, and WWII had concluded, and he had scores of people executed.- Thankfully, Spain is now somewhat of a democracy. - I have a similar coin, also of one peseta, although mine is from 1966.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
