50 Céntimos Benejúzar

Benejúzar is a small agricultural municipality in the Vega Baja del Segura, Alicante province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War it was forced to manufacture its own fractional currency when Republican authorities failed to keep small change in circulation. The acute shortage of coins after 1936 — driven partly by hoarding, partly by the collapse of normal supply chains — pushed local councils to print their own scrip under emergency powers, most of it crude, all of it technically illegal tender beyond town limits.

The Gari Montllor catalogue documents this 50 céntimos as type B, implying at least a second emission or variant for Benejúzar, which is notable for a village of its size.
