Comments

Jumilla, a wine-producing municipality in Murcia, was one of hundreds of Spanish towns that issued emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's coinage disappeared from circulation in 1936. The original 50 céntimos note was a local stopgap, authorized and circulated under wartime necessity. This 2003 piece is a commemorative facsimile — not a reproduction intended to deceive, but a philatelic reissue produced by the FNMT in Madrid for collectors and local historical interest.

The FNMT's involvement gives the paper and watermark a legitimacy that purely private reprints lack, though the collector market treats these Spanish municipal reproductions as a distinct category from originals.
