50 Céntimos Samper de Calanda

Samper de Calanda is a small Aragonese municipality on the Martín river, and like hundreds of other Republican-held towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when coins vanished entirely from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent amid the chaos of 1936–37. The Consell Municipal had no formal banking infrastructure; these notes were a local administrative improvisation, not a sanctioned monetary instrument.

The printer, C.A.M. in Barcelona, produced similar emergency vales for dozens of Catalan and Aragonese municipalities during this period, which makes attribution straightforward but also means the physical printing quality varies considerably across the series.
