0.50 Pesetas Soneja

Soneja is a small agricultural village in the interior of Castellón province, and like hundreds of similarly isolated municipalities during the Spanish Civil War, it found itself cut off from hard currency after the Republican government's wartime decrees disrupted normal coin supply. The Comité Ejecutivo Popular — the locally organized revolutionary committee that effectively governed such towns through 1936–37 — issued these cardboard tokens as emergency fractional currency to keep local commerce functional when metal coinage had vanished into hoarding or requisition.

Cardboard issues from villages this size were produced in tiny quantities and rarely survived daily handling. The Turró and Gari Mon catalogues document hundreds of such local emissions; Soneja's entry is among the more obscure, with no recorded mintage figure.
