One of hundreds of local emergency issues produced across Republican-controlled Spain during the Civil War, when the hoarding of coins — driven by metal scarcity and general panic — left municipalities scrambling to fill the gap with improvised small-change paper. Murcia's ayuntamiento issued these céntimos notes under the same broad authorisation that empowered towns and cities across the Levante and elsewhere to print their own fractional currency in 1937.
The Gari Monerris catalogue remains the primary reference for these Spanish municipal issues, and the -C suffix designation indicates a distinct variety within the Murcia 10 céntimos type — likely a colour, serial, or overprint variation rather than a separate emission date.
