Noalejo is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and this 50 céntimos piece belongs to the wave of emergency local currency that flooded Republican-held Spain during the Civil War. When the Nationalist uprising of July 1936 caused hoarding and a near-total disappearance of small coin from circulation, thousands of ayuntamientos and consejos municipales improvised their own fractional notes — printed locally, often on whatever card stock was available, validated by an official stamp in place of any sophisticated security.
The Gari Montaner reference confirms this as catalogued material, though survival rates for Noalejo's issues are low given the town's size and the improvised nature of production.
