50 Céntimos Chirivel

Chirivel is a small municipality in the Vélez comarca of Almería province, and like dozens of similarly obscure Republican-held towns, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's silver coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation within months of the July 1936 uprising. These hyper-local issues were authorized under a broader Republican decree permitting municipal councils to print vales and cartones to fill the void left by hoarded metal.

The Gari Mon catalogue listing is incomplete for this piece, which itself signals rarity — Chirivel's output was almost certainly small, and survival rates for provincial Andalusian municipal notes from this period are poor. Many were demonetized and pulped before the Nationalist advance reached the region in 1939.
