 French Indo China 1 Cent 1943 KM26During World War II the French administrators in French Indo China closely collaborated with both the Germans and Japanese. As the war progressed the country soon faced a severe coin shortage and found themselves largely cut off from the rest of the world. In 1943 French officials in Hanoi gave emergency authorization for an school in Hanoi, the Ecole Pratique, to strike aluminum 1 Centime coins using whatever makeshift equipment they could assemble. The coins bear the name of the Vichy government "Etat Francais" |

 Though Francisco Franco and the Spanish Nationalists received heavy assistance from Hitler during the Spanish Civil War and the two were ideologically similar, Spain never officially joined the Axis powers in World War II. Spain provided volunteers to fight against Russia, but insisted they not be used on the western front. Negotiations between Hitler and Franco concerning Spain formally entering the war did not go well, with Hitler reportedly saying "I prefer to have three or four of my own teeth pulled out than to speak to that man again!". This 1944 21mm aluminum-bronze Spanish 1 Peseta depicts coat of arms of Spain on the obverse. The reverse features the historical symbols of Spain around the denomination: a pomegranate for Granada, four pallets for Aragon, a castle of Castile, a lion for Leon, chains for Navarre and a bundle of arrows for the Catholic Monarchs (Ferdinand and Isabella) who united the country. |

 The Spanish Civil War was a bloody conflict that lasted from 1936 until 1939. The Nationalists were supported by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The Republicans were supported by the Soviet Union. The war provided a testing ground for weaponry and tactics that would later be used in World War II. These coins, dated 1937 were struck by the Republic. Due to the siege of Madrid, the coins were apparently struck at an emergency mint in Castellon or Aspe. The iron 5 Centimos depicts a female allegory of the Republic on the obverse and the denomination within a wreath on the reverse. The war ended with the defeat of the Republican faction |
