Spanish Arras
I have seen a number of references to coins used as Arras in Spain, but tokens don't seem to be used much. I recently bought what appears to be a Spanish Arras (image below). I got it from a seller in Spain, and it definately looks different from the Mexican Arras. If anyone knows anything about this, or any other Spanish Arras tokens, I'd love to hear about it:

The Spanish Mint seems to make Arras sets, but I have not been able to find out much information about them. They may well be gold, and not show up on the "collector" market much. If anyone knows anything about them, or has a good picture of them, I would be very interested to hear about it!
I just got a set from Spain on eBay (below). 12 of the tokens have a swan, the 13th is engraved with the date. Seller thought they were gold-plated silver, and that seems likely.
