10 Céntimos Alfambra

Alfambra is a small municipality in Teruel province, Aragon — one of the most bitterly contested regions of the Spanish Civil War. Like dozens of Republican-controlled villages in 1936–37, the local collective issued its own fractional paper currency to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coin from daily commerce. Bronze and copper had been hoarded, melted, or simply vanished from circulation as the war disrupted the national supply chain.

These village-issue emergency notes, known collectively as "moneda local," were produced under wildly varying conditions — some printed by established firms, many by local presses with minimal equipment. Alfambra changed hands during the Aragon Offensive in 1938, after which any surviving local scrip became worthless overnight.
