25 Centimos 502nd battalion

Local military scrip issued by a Republican Army battalion during the Spanish Civil War, when the breakdown of centralized supply chains forced individual units to create their own internal exchange currency. The 502nd Battalion operated under the 126th Mixed Brigade, itself part of the 28th Division — a formation that saw action on the Aragón front. These battalion-level emissions were never formally sanctioned by the Republican Treasury and circulated only within the issuing unit, redeemable in theory against future pay.

Survival rate is low. Most were discarded, destroyed, or rendered worthless when units were disbanded or overrun.
