10 Céntimos Cazalilla

Cazalilla is a small agricultural village in Jaén province, Andalusia, with a population that barely reached a few hundred during the 1930s. Like hundreds of other Spanish municipalities, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War when Republican-zone coinage vanished almost entirely from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. The village council had no printing resources worth speaking of, which is why these pieces were produced on heavy card stock rather than anything resembling banknote paper.

The Gari Morencos catalog documents only one type for Cazalilla at this denomination, suggesting output was limited and local. Survivors are rare precisely because nobody preserved them — they were pocket change, not collectibles.
