The ECU was never legal tender in Catalonia — or anywhere else, strictly speaking. The Generalitat issued these pieces under a provision that allowed regional governments within EU member states to produce ECU-denominated collector coins during the currency's final years before it was replaced by the euro in 1999. Rodoreda, who died in 1983, was the most translated Catalan-language author of the twentieth century, her novel La plaça del Diamant having appeared in over thirty languages.
