The Second Spanish Republic was proclaimed in April 1931 and marked a period of profound political, social, and economic change in the country. These changes were also reflected in numismatics, with the issuance of new coins incorporating symbols and motifs in keeping with the new republican reality.

The coins of the Second Republic stand out for:

  • The legend "Spanish Republic" and the year of issue.
  • Allegorical motifs, such as the female figure representing the Republic, wheat spikes, olive branches, and other symbols of progress and peace.
  • Absence of the royal effigy, in contrast to previous monarchical coins.

The most representative coins of the Second Spanish Republic were the following:

  • 1 peseta: Minted in silver in 1933 at the National Mint and Stamp Factory in Madrid. It features the legend "Spanish Republic" and updated motifs reminiscent of the monarchy.
  • 2 pesetas: Issued in 1937 in areas under Republican control, such as Asturias and León.
  • 5 cents: Struck primarily from iron in 1937, with large and small bust variants. Manufactured in Castellón due to the relocation of machinery during the Civil War.
  • 10 cents: Iron, minted in 1938 in Castellón.
  • 25 cents: Initially made of cupronickel (1934, Madrid) and later of copper (1938, Aspe, Alicante). Some have a central hole, a distinctive feature of the period.
  • 50 cents: Issued in 1937, mainly in iron and brass, with different border variants (squares, dots, etc.) and legends alluding to the Republic
