0.50 Pesetas Manuel

Manuel is a small municipality in Valencia province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council (Consejo Municipal) was forced to issue its own fractional emergency currency after the Republican government's coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable at the local level. These municipal emissions, collectively catalogued under the broader "Guerra Civil" series, were purely functional: printed or reproduced locally, stamped with whatever official seal the council had on hand, and accepted only within the issuing locality.

The Turró and Gari references place this squarely in the known typology, but Manuel's emissions remain among the scarcer Valencian provincial pieces.
