    Moscow gold transfer

    During the Spanish Civil War, approximately 510 tonnes of the Bank of Spain’s gold reserves were transferred to the Soviet Union. The transfer, commonly called Moscow gold, has remained controversial and is frequently discussed in accounts of the war, the Republican government’s finances and Spain’s reserve management.
