50 Céntimos Badajoz

Badajoz fell to Nationalist forces in August 1936, making this 1937 issue from the Consejo Provincial something of an administrative curiosity — emergency fractional currency issued under the new Nationalist-aligned provincial authority during a period when small-denomination coinage had effectively disappeared from circulation across both zones. The chronic shortage of centésimo coins was a Spain-wide problem by 1937, forcing local and provincial bodies throughout Republican and Nationalist territories alike to print their own substitutes.

Gari Mon catalogues two variants for this type; the B designation typically reflects a printing or signature difference from the A issue. Survival rate for Spanish Civil War provincial emergency notes varies sharply by region, and Extremadura examples turn up less frequently than those from better-documented Catalan or Basque issuers.
