| Comments |
Beniarbeig is a small agricultural municipality in the Marina Alta comarca of Valencia, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican Spain, it issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1937 to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation. The Consell Municipal authorised these notes as war-era substitutes — locally valid, locally printed, and theoretically redeemable once normal monetary supply resumed.
Imprenta F. Cuquerella in the nearby town of Pego served several municipalities in the region, meaning the technical execution here is somewhat above what purely improvised village issues typically show. Survival rates for these hyper-local valencian emissions are unpredictable — small print runs, no formal banking infrastructure, and post-war Republican currency invalidation all worked against preservation.
