50 Céntimos Faura

Faura is a small municipality in Valencia province, and like hundreds of other Spanish townships in 1937, its municipal council issued emergency fractional currency — locally called moneda de necesidad — to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation during the Civil War. Republican Spain's Republican zone saw copper and silver hoarded almost immediately after July 1936, forcing even the smallest local bodies to print their own scrip to make change possible at all.

Faura's issue is catalogued in both Gari and Turró, which suggests it was produced in sufficient quantity to survive in collectible numbers, though Valencian municipal notes of this period vary wildly in scarcity. The Turró reference number places it firmly within the documented Valencian provincial series.
