0.50 Pesetas Gorga

Gorga is a village in the Comtat region of Alicante province, with a population in the 1930s of only a few hundred. Like dozens of Valencian municipalities during the Civil War, the local council issued its own fractional currency after the Republic's small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absorbed by the wartime economy. These emergency emissions, known as moneda local, were technically illegal under central Republican monetary authority but were tolerated out of sheer necessity.

The Gari Mon catalogue reference places this among the rarer municipal issues — small-town councils often printed in very limited runs, with no infrastructure for controlled distribution or later redemption.
