| Obverse description | Letterpress-printed entirely in black on khaki-toned thick card stock, the note carries no pictorial vignette. The heading "- Bono Municipal -" appears in bold serif type at the top, beneath which the issuing municipality "Cabezarrubias del Puerto" is set in a smaller face and underlined by a fine decorative rule. The denomination statement "VALE POR 50 CTS." occupies the lower half in large bold capitals, characteristic of the austere typographic production typical of Spanish Civil War-era municipal emergency issues. |

| Comments |
Cabezarrubias del Puerto is a small municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha. Like hundreds of similarly sized Spanish towns, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's decree of 1936 effectively sanctioned local money production to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coin from circulation. These municipal emissions were produced under wildly inconsistent conditions — some typeset, some handstamped, some little more than handwritten slips — and most circulated within a radius of a few kilometers before the war's end rendered them worthless.
The absent Gari catalog number suggests this piece has either eluded systematic documentation or surfaced after the relevant edition went to press.
