50 Céntimos Miravet

Miravet is a small municipality in the Ribera d'Ebre comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency when Republican-zone coinage disappeared from circulation almost entirely by 1937. These municipal emergency notes — collectively catalogued under the Guerra Civil española series — were legal only within the issuing municipality and typically printed in very small runs, often on whatever stock was locally available.

Turró's catalogue remains the definitive reference for this material, and low Turró numbers within a given locality generally indicate the first issues; #1501 places Miravet well into the mid-range of the broader series. Survival rates for minor municipal issues vary sharply — some towns printed hundreds, others thousands, and destruction after the Nationalist victory was not systematic.
