5 Céntimos Marjaliza

Marjaliza is a village in the Toledo province of Castile-La Mancha with a population that rarely exceeded a few hundred people. That a municipal council there issued emergency fractional paper during the Spanish Civil War is not unusual — hundreds of similarly tiny localities did the same between 1936 and 1939 when Republican Spain faced a catastrophic shortage of small-denomination coinage. What makes these hyper-local emissions interesting is the near-total absence of any printing infrastructure: most were produced on whatever materials the consejo could source locally, often by hand or on basic office equipment.

The Garicoin reference suggests only a single known type for this denomination from Marjaliza, which is consistent with a one-time emergency run rather than an organized series.
