10 Céntimos Pedralva

Pedralva is a small municipality in the Valencia region, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1937 when Republican-controlled areas faced an acute shortage of small coinage. The central government's inability to maintain adequate coin supply forced local councils — ayuntamientos — to fill the gap with paper, cardboard, and occasionally even stamps mounted on backing.

At 60 × 41 mm, this is among the smallest paper issues of the war. Local emergency notes at this scale were typically hand-stamped and produced in short runs, often on whatever stock was available.
