| Obverse description | Letterpress-printed note in red on plain cream paper, with the municipal coat of arms — a tower flanked by laurel branches — centred at the top. Four corner vignettes each bear the denomination '50 cts.' within dashed rectangular frames, and a serial number and series designation ('Serie B') run vertically along the left and right margins respectively. The central text panel carries the bearer obligation in graduated type, with a handwritten signature below the title 'El Presidente' and a circular violet official stamp of the Consejo Municipal de Casas-Ibáñez overlapping the right side. The printer's imprint 'IMP. LAHIGUERA.-CASAS IBAÑEZ' appears at the foot of the note. |

| Comments |
Casas Ibáñez is a small agricultural town in Albacete province, and this 50 céntimos note is a product of the Republican zone's acute small-change crisis of 1936–37. The central government's inability to supply adequate fractional currency forced hundreds of Spanish municipalities to print their own emergency paper — locally designed, locally printed, and valid only within the issuing town's limits. Imp. Lahiguera was a local press, not a specialist securities printer, and the notes reflect that.
The Gari Montserrat catalog documents several Casas Ibáñez emissions from this period; the "-B" suffix distinguishes this from an earlier variant in the same denomination.
