0.15 Pesetas Noalejo

Noalejo is a small municipality in Jaén province, Andalusia. During the Spanish Civil War, dozens of tiny towns across Republican-held Spain issued their own emergency fractional currency — cédulas locales — when coin hoarding and metal requisitioning stripped local commerce of anything useful for small transactions. A 0.15 peseta denomination suggests this was intended for everyday market exchange, filling the gap left by the disappearance of the copper five and ten céntimo pieces.

Documentation on Noalejo's local emission is sparse, and surviving examples are rare simply because so few were produced and fewer still were kept.
