5 Céntimos Alcampel

Alcampel is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of similarly sized Spanish towns, it issued emergency fractional paper during the Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation in 1936. These hyper-local emissions were produced under Republican-controlled territory, often on whatever stock was available, with authority derived from municipal councils acting without any central oversight of design or printing quality.

The 5 céntimos denomination is among the lowest produced anywhere in the war-era municipal series — essentially a substitute for a coin worth almost nothing even before the conflict. Survival rates for Alcampel issues are low simply because so few were printed and the town's population was small.
