[edit]

 Delete these images are not currency, they are stamps stuck onto a circular disk, so the copyright license for currency cannot apply. According to Commons:Stamps/Public domain#Spain, Spanish stamps are copyright for 70 or 80 years depending on certain facts. The issue date and author are necessary to determine their copyright status.

  •  Keep These stamps adhered to a cardboard disk were a method of payment issued by the central government as legal currency for a short period during the Spanish Civil War (they were in use from 1938 to the end of the war), in the Second Republic (see here). It was a provisory measure, as emergency money, to give time the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre to mint new currency. You can see the stamps coins in the World Paper Money Catalog and History. All of the Second Republic stamps were issued between 1931 - 1939, some of these ones were issued in 1933 (5 cents and 25 cents), others in 1938. But as legal currency the exact issue date should be irrelevant. Anna (Cookie) (talk) 06:18, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Would any of these links be considered reliable sources to support your statement? Ww2censor (talk) 09:56, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment The links are just to show you that those stamps stuck on a cardboard aren't an uploader invention, they were legal money sometime in a historic past. Therefore, they can be found on numismatic catalogs, like the first one, based on the Standard Catalog World Paper Money by Albert Pick in three volumes. The second link is the online catalog of the Spanish Federation of Philatelic Societies with the sponsorship of the Sociedad Estatal Correos y Telégrafos, the national postal service. But there are more catalogs, and all of them also treat these disks as Spanish coins. The real reliable source is the decree issued by the government and published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado called in those days Gaceta de la República: Diario Oficial. You can read the transcription more clearly here. Anna (Cookie) (talk) 07:20, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting stuff indeed. I must try a translation of your official source. I never heard of that use. Fractional currency with one use in the 1860s as Encased postage stamps but that's so old there is no copyright problem. However, I wonder, if any of the designers are not dead 70+ years and we crop the stamp off the cardboard background, how do we consider the copyright status of a copyright stamp.

Kept: as per above. --Yann (talk) 18:11, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
