5 Céntimos Binéfar

Binéfar is a small agricultural town in Huesca province, Aragon — Republican territory throughout the Civil War. Hundreds of Spanish municipalities issued emergency fractional scrip in 1936–37 when coin hoarding stripped small change from everyday commerce almost overnight. The Consejo Municipal (the Republican administrative body that replaced the pre-war ayuntamiento) authorized these notes to keep local markets functioning.

The Gari Mon catalogue remains the primary reference for Aragonese municipal emissions, and the 335-A designation suggests at least one variant exists within the Binéfar 5 céntimos issue — likely a signature, seal, or serial numbering difference. Most pieces from small Aragonese councils were printed in very limited quantities and saw hard use before the Nationalist advance into Aragon in spring 1938 ended their validity entirely.
