Description:

This course proposes an approach to the political use of currency in circulation and the development, in the broadest sense, of numismatics under the Franco dictatorship.

The first session will focus on the iconographic analysis of banknotes and coins issued in this long period, linked to the construction of the image of the regime

The second session will raise how initially the introduction of the principles of the autarky, and at a later stage, the so-called developmentalism, contributed indifferent ways to the total renovation of the manufacturing spaces of production of metal and paper currency. In this context, the construction will be framed of a major new museum dedicated to numismatics, depending on the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre, conceived as a showcase for one of the symbols of the State.

Finally, in the last session, a Barcelona vision will be introduced through the observation of the situation and activity of numismatics in the city with the remodeling of the museum of the Numismatic Cabinet of Catalonia and the holding of various official numismatic events. This session will end with a roundtable that will highlight the vitality and difficulties of local associations and the emergence of unique figures from the collector’s market.
