5 Céntimos Pliego

Pliego is a small municipality in Murcia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its ayuntamiento resorted to issuing its own fractional paper currency after Republican authorities failed to maintain an adequate supply of small change. The centimo shortages of 1936–37 were severe enough that local councils, cooperatives, and even individual businesses across Republican Spain printed their own emergency notes — a phenomenon now catalogued in the thousands of distinct pieces.

The Gari Mon reference places this within the standard corpus of Spanish Civil War municipal emergency issues. Survivors are common as a category but individually scarce by town — Pliego's output was small.
