1937 Spain 50 Céntimos VG – Spanish Republic Emergency Issue | Civil War Provisional Note
1937 Spain 50 Céntimos note is a Spanish Republic provisional emergency issue released during the Spanish Civil War. Issued by the Ministerio de Hacienda, it is classified as a “Certificado Provisional de Moneda Divisionaria”, produced to alleviate severe shortages of small-denomination coinage during wartime.
The obverse features a finely engraved classical female profile, surrounded by ornate guilloché patterns, denomination panels, and official Republican inscriptions dated Emisión 1937. The reverse displays an intricate geometric design centered on the large “50” denomination, printed in green ink on fragile wartime paper typical of emergency issues.
Highly collectible for its historical significance, low survival quality paper, and direct association with one of Europe’s most important 20th-century conflicts.
