50 Céntimos Níjar

Níjar is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency when coins vanished from circulation almost overnight in mid-1936. The Republican government's decree authorizing municipal issues gave cover to what was already happening spontaneously — local shops and markets could not make change, and the central supply of small coinage had effectively collapsed.

The Gari Montllor catalog remains the primary reference for these Spanish local issues, and the A suffix on this listing typically denotes a variant within the series — likely a paper stock or overprint distinction rather than a design change.
