| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a stylized industrial or factory scene in low relief, depicting a tall smokestack or chimney at center, with diagonal lines suggesting a factory roof or building structure to the right, and wavy lines at the top evoking smoke or flame. The denomination 15 CENTIMS and the date 24-IX-1937 are inscribed around the design, with decorative dotted borders framing the composition. The overall execution is primitive and utilitarian, characteristic of Spanish Civil War emergency coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Olot's wartime iron coinage was a direct consequence of the Republican government's catastrophic loss of control over metal supplies during the Spanish Civil War. Municipal authorities across Catalonia — Olot among them — issued their own emergency fractional currency when centrally produced coinage ceased to reach ordinary commerce. Iron, a material almost never chosen for peacetime coinage due to its corrosion and die-wear problems, was the only metal available in quantity by 1937.
Surviving examples in any condition above heavily corroded are genuinely scarce. Iron does not forgive eighty years of humidity.
