35 Céntimos Benidorm

One of hundreds of emergency fractional notes — billetes de necesidad — issued by Republican municipalities during the Spanish Civil War when coin shortages made small transactions nearly impossible. Benidorm in 1937 was a tiny fishing village of perhaps a few thousand people; the municipal council issuing its own scrip was not unusual, but a 35-céntimo denomination is an odd choice, avoiding the more common 25 and 50-céntimo values that most councils defaulted to.

The Garrido Moncada catalog reference is unassigned, suggesting this piece was either documented too late for the main sequence or remains insufficiently verified — worth noting for any dealer submitting provenance records to update the listing.
