50 Céntimos Abarán

Abarán is a small agricultural municipality in the Segura river valley of Murcia, and like hundreds of other Republican-held towns in 1937, it issued its own emergency fractional paper when the central government's small coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable in rural areas. These local municipal notes, generically called "moneda local" or "vales," were a pragmatic response to a real transactional crisis, not a political statement by any individual town.

The Gari Montserrat catalog documents the Abarán series as among the more obscure Murcian municipal emissions, with survival rates reflecting both the small print runs typical of such issues and the destruction that followed Franco's consolidation of the region in 1939.
