10 Céntimos Valdepeñas de Jaén

Valdepeñas de Jaén is a small municipality in the Sierra Mágina range, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency fractional paper during the Civil War after coinage vanished almost entirely from circulation in 1936. The Consejo Municipal issues from this province are among the least-documented of the Republican zone scrip — print runs were small, record-keeping was inconsistent, and survival rates are low simply because nobody thought to preserve what was effectively pocket change.

The thick card stock was a practical choice: lightweight paper would not have survived even brief handling at market stalls and local commerce.
