Cehegín is a small municipality in Murcia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its ayuntamiento resorted to printing its own emergency fractional currency when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed after 1936. These local issues — collectively known as billetes de necesidad — were never intended as permanent currency and circulated only within the town's own economy, often for weeks or months before being withdrawn or simply abandoned as the war shifted.
The Gari Monerris catalog remains the authoritative reference for these Murcian municipal emissions, and the 513-C designation indicates a specific variant within the Cehegín series.
