5 Céntimos Abarán

Abarán is a small municipality in Murcia, and like dozens of Spanish towns, it resorted to locally issued cardboard emergency money during the Civil War after the Republic's small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation by 1936–37, hoarded or melted as metal became strategically valuable. These municipal issues were strictly local instruments — accepted at the baker's, the cooperative, nowhere else.

The Gari Mon catalogue remains the primary reference for Spanish Civil War local issues, and the #3-H designation places this among a small numbered sequence from Abarán, suggesting at least several distinct denominations or types were authorized by the ayuntamiento.
