Comments

Moral de Calatrava is a small municipality in Ciudad Real province, and this 50 céntimos note belongs to the enormous wave of locally issued emergency fractional currency — papel moneda local — that flooded Republican-controlled Spain during the Civil War after the hoarding of coins left everyday commerce effectively paralysed. Municipal councils, cooperatives, and trade unions across the country printed their own scrip from 1936 onward with almost no central oversight.

The Gari Mon catalogue (Cuhaj/Garibi) remains the primary reference for these issues, and #971-B suggests at least one variant exists within this municipality's output — worth verifying against the primary listing.
