Tile made in Spain and is about the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). The text on the tile reads:”International Freedom Volunteers”. On the right bottom there is UGT, meaning General Union of Workers and was founded in 1888. General Francisco Franco confined the UGT to exile and clandestinity after his victory in the Spanish Civil War until his death in 1975. The Union emerged from secrecy during the democratic transition after Franco’s death.
It is unclear when this tile was made. It could have been made in 1966 when the UGT commemorated the Spanish civil war and the same images as this tile were used. Also there are reproductions of this tile made in 1996. They look the same but in the right upper corner there is “1996”” instead of the coat of arms. So it is also possible that this tile is from 1996.
