50 Céntimos Siruela

Siruela is a small municipality in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura — squarely in the Republican zone during the early phase of the Civil War. In 1937, with Nationalist forces disrupting supply chains and small coin effectively vanishing from circulation, hundreds of Spanish municipalities issued their own emergency fractional paper currency under varying degrees of official sanction. The Consejo Municipal was the operative local authority in Republican-held towns, and these issues were its solution to a practical daily problem: making change.

The Gari Monetary catalog reference is incomplete for this piece, suggesting it either remains unclassified or was documented after the main series compilation. Surviving Siruela municipals are rarely encountered.
