0.50 Pesetas Castellón de Rugat

Castellón de Rugat is a small municipality in the Valencia region, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1937 when the Republic's small change effectively disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent. The Consejo Municipal notes filled a genuine transactional void at the village level, which is why they were printed in such quantities relative to the local population yet survive so rarely today: they were used hard and discarded.

The Turró and Gari Mon references both catalog this as part of the broader Valencian emergency issue corpus. Two catalog numbers for a single village half-peseta tells you something about how seriously Spanish numismatists have documented this chaotic period.
