Description
  • Coupons for 2 céntimos each
  • The ration coupons were likely made during the 1970s and bear no resemblance to any surviving examples of real or official ration coupons printed and issued during the Spanish Civil War.
  • Recto: Image related to Don Quixote. Verso: perforated and divided into ten small ration coupons.
  • Sheet No.76: Portrait of Miguel Cervantes, with images of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza along with other emblems from the novel, divided across 10 perforated coupons. Verso features coupons valued at two céntimos, presumably for use in the company store of the Forges at Alcala, Alcala de Henares (Madrid), 1937.
