Catalonia Spain 5 centimos Catalanist Union Cal-132 MS 64 PCGS copper coin 1900

This historic 5 Céntimos copper coin from Catalonia, dated 1900, is a remarkable artifact of the Catalanist movement, an organization dedicated to promoting Catalan culture, traditions, and regional identity. Certified MS64 by PCGS, this attractive piece represents one of the most recognizable symbols of Catalan political and cultural expression at the dawn of the 20th century. Its combination of historical significance and artistic design makes it highly desirable among collectors of Spanish and regional numismatics.

The obverse features a dramatic equestrian scene with a rider mounted on a rearing horse, captured in dynamic motion. The horse’s flowing mane, raised forelegs, muscular body, reins, and the rider’s determined posture create a powerful composition. Around the design appears the inscription “UNIO CATALANISTA,” accompanied by the date 1900 and the engraver’s signature “VALLMITJANA-BARNA.” The reverse displays a bold heraldic emblem composed of four vertical bars associated with Catalonia, set over a cross-like form and surrounded by oak leaves, laurel branches, foliage, and decorative vegetal ornamentation. Encircling the design is the Latin motto “VINDICAMUS HAEREDITATEM PATRUM NOSTRORUM,” expressing the defense of ancestral heritage.

Struck in copper and certified PCGS MS64, this coin is an exceptional survivor from a pivotal period in Catalan history. A wonderful addition for collectors of Catalonia, Spanish exonumia, political history, and rare historical copper issues.
