Santa Cruz de los Cáñamos is a small municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha. This 50 céntimos note was almost certainly issued during the Spanish Civil War period, when the collapse of small-denomination coinage drove hundreds of municipal councils across Republican-held territory to print their own emergency paper money — a phenomenon so widespread that the collector reference Gari Mon covers thousands of such issues, many from towns this obscure.
The incomplete Gari Mon reference suggests this piece has not been formally catalogued or confirmed in that corpus, which is not unusual for the smallest municipalities.
