5 Céntimos Bot

Bot is a small municipality in Terra Alta, Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued its own emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coinage effectively disappeared from circulation after 1936. The Consell Municipal series from Bot is among the more obscure of these local emissions — Turró catalogues it but surviving examples are genuinely rare, as print runs for village-level issues were tiny and the notes themselves were flimsy enough to survive only through accident.

The thick card stock construction is characteristic of councils that lacked access to proper banknote paper and improvised with whatever the local printer had on hand.
