Comments

Aldea de San Benito is a small municipality in the province of Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha. This 50 céntimos note belongs to the wave of emergency paper money — known collectively as billetes locales or papel moneda de guerra — issued by Spanish municipalities during the Civil War after the Republic's decree of 1936 effectively authorized local authorities to produce their own fractional currency when coin circulation collapsed entirely.

The Gari Monetary catalogue (Mon#97-B) designation confirms a second type variant exists for this denomination from this issuer — uncommon for a village of this size.
