Valdepeñas de Jaén is a small municipality in the sierra north of Jaén city, and this 50 céntimos note is one of the thousands of locally issued emergency paper fractions that flooded Republican-held Spain after July 1936, when the military uprising collapsed conventional coin circulation almost overnight. Municipal councils, trade unions, and local war committees across the country improvised their own fractional currency from whatever printing resources were at hand — hence the card stock, which was a common substitute when proper banknote paper was unavailable.
The Gari Montaner catalogue remains the essential reference for this material, and the -B suffix on this listing indicates a variant within the series, most likely a difference in paper weight, ink color, or stamp.
