1 Peseta Beniel

Beniel is a small agricultural municipality in the Huerta de Murcia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's coinage disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable. These local issues, collectively catalogued under the billetes de necesidad designation, were typically printed in tiny quantities and redeemed — or more often not redeemed — within a very limited geographic radius.

The Gari Montaner reference places this firmly in the regional Murcia corpus. Survival rates for Beniel issues are poor; the town's small population meant low print runs, and post-war redemption was neither guaranteed nor systematically recorded.
