50 Céntimos Almácera

Almácera — now officially spelled Almàssera — is a small municipality in the Valencian huerta, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency currency when coin vanished from circulation almost overnight in 1936–37. These local issues, collectively catalogued under the "Guerra Civil" municipal series, were a direct consequence of the Republican government's inability to supply sufficient small change to the provinces. Each municipality solved the problem on its own terms, often with whatever printing resources were locally available.

The Gari Mon reference places this squarely within the documented Valencia regional issues. Thick card stock was typical for very small-denomination municipal notes — regular paper wore through quickly at this size.
