50 Céntimos Brazatortas

Brazatortas is a small municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, and like hundreds of similarly obscure Spanish towns it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's small-change supply collapsed in 1936–37. The Consejo Municipal — the locally controlled governing council under Republican administration — authorized these notes to keep everyday commerce functioning when copper and silver coins had entirely vanished from circulation through hoarding and wartime disruption.

The thick card stock construction is characteristic of many Castilian municipal issues from this period, where proper banknote paper was simply unavailable at the local level. Gari Mon catalogues two varieties for Brazatortas; this is the B type.
