EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the reverse side of a one-peseta coin in silver, which has been repurposed as a remarkable medal for the Catalanist Union. The exquisite craftsmanship is evident in every detail, highlighting the exceptional work of the renowned engraving workshop of Vallmitjana i Barbany. Dating back to the 20th century, this historical artifact holds immense significance within Catalan culture and history. Its vibrant colors and distinct Catalan motifs symbolize pride and identity for Catalonia and its people. As a currency once used in Spain, the peseta now takes on new meaning as it transforms into an emblematic medal. The origins of this unique piece remain somewhat mysterious, with its creator unknown. However, its value lies not only in monetary terms but also in numismatics – the study and collection of coins – making it highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Preserved within a private collection, this vertical photograph captures Santiago Ortega's expertly curated display that celebrates both artistry and heritage. It serves as a testament to Catalonia's rich cultural tapestry while honoring those who have championed its cause through their association with the Catalanist Union. Through this image, we are transported to another time and place where coins were more than just means of exchange; they became powerful symbols representing unity, resilience, and unwavering devotion to one's roots.
