In 1931, Alfonso XIII, king of Spain, was overthrown and exiled and a republic established. The political stresses unleashed thereby continued to wrack Spain and the regime's life was brief; in 1936, General Franco pronounced against the government and by 1939 had conquered Spain for the Fascists. In 1937, the regime was fighting for its life against the Fascists and a crushing economic depression. This coin was minted in Vienna and issued by the Fascists and proclaimed the pending victory over the republicans. Silver would disappear from circulation until Franco's 100 pesetas of 1966-70.
