The Republican government's Ministry of Finance answered with \"Certificados provisionales de moneda divisionaria\" – provisional paper certificates for small change. This 50 Céntimos note is dated 1937 and was issued in January 1938, printed at a branch of the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre after the mint moved from Madrid to the Levante. It is signed by Francisco Méndez Aspe, director general of the Treasury, and Adolfo Sixto Hontán, the state comptroller. After the Republic's defeat, the note lost its legal tender value on 1 April 1939.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allegorical female head of the Spanish Republic facing right, framed by a chequered oval, with the text \"República Española – Certificado provisional de moneda divisionaria\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large \"50\" in an ornamental guilloche frame with the words \"Cincuenta Céntimos\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🔍 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumismatic Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84 × 45 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provisional fractional note (emergency issue)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spanish peseta (céntimos)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spain (Second Republic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssuing Authority:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ministerio de Hacienda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1937 (issued 1938)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eF (Fine) \/ Circulated.\u003c\/strong\u003e A well-circulated note with many folds, softer paper and edge wear, possibly small stains or edge nicks, but complete and with the design clearly visible.
