| Additional information |
La Axarquía issued its own local currency in 1989 as part of a wave of comarca-level monetary experiments that briefly appeared across Spain during the late 1980s, largely tied to cooperative networks and local commerce promotion schemes. These issues had no legal tender status and circulated only within participating businesses in the comarca east of Málaga.
Copper at 16 g places this well above most contemporary Spanish coinage by mass — a deliberate choice to give the token physical authority it lacked legally.
