To continue the work we are doing in the Spanish Notgeld section, just as there is a Reapers' War Period which includes the emergency coins of that conflict, I request the creation of a "Spanish Civil War" Period to include all the coins and banknotes issued during the conflict.
Name (EN): Spanish Civil War
Local name (ES): Guerra civil española

Description:
(EN) The Spanish Civil War (Spanish: guerra civil española) was fought from 1936 to 1939 between the Republicans and the Nationalists. Republicans were loyal to the left-leaning Popular Front government of the Second Spanish Republic and included socialists, anarchists, communists, and separatists. The opposing Nationalists who established the Spanish State were an alliance of fascist Falangists, monarchists, conservatives, and traditionalists supported by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy and led by a military junta among whom General Francisco Franco quickly achieved a preponderant role.
The numismatics of the Spanish Civil War reflect the political and economic divisions of this conflict. There was a massive issuance of coins and banknotes as a necessity due to the shutdown of the mints and the scarcity of small denominations. Both sides, the Republicans (in much greater numbers) and the Nationalists, issued their own pesetas with designs and propaganda messages. The majority consisted of thousands of local issues (bonds, vouchers, banknotes and coins of various materials) created by city councils, unions, cooperatives, and private entities, all seeking to maintain local commerce in the face of the collapse of the central monetary system in the Republican zone.
(ES) La guerra civil española se libró entre 1936 y 1939 entre republicanos y nacionalistas. Los republicanos eran leales al gobierno izquierdista del Frente Popular de la Segunda República Española e incluían socialistas, anarquistas, comunistas y separatistas. Los nacionalistas opositores que establecieron el Estado español eran una alianza de falangistas fascistas, monárquicos, conservadores y tradicionalistas apoyados por la Alemania nazi y la Italia fascista, y liderados por una junta militar entre la que el general Francisco Franco alcanzó rápidamente un papel preponderante.
La numismática de la guerra civil española muestra la división política y económica de este conflicto. Hubo una emisión masiva de monedas y billetes de necesidad debido a la paralización de las cecas y la escasez de metálico fraccionario. Ambos bandos, el Republicano (en mucho mayor número) y el Nacional, emitieron sus propias pesetas con diseños y mensajes propagandísticos. La mayor parte fueron miles de emisiones locales (bonos, vales, billetes y monedas de varios materiales) creadas por ayuntamientos, consejos municipales, sindicatos, cooperativas y emisiones privadas, que buscaban mantener el comercio local ante el colapso del sistema monetario central de la zona republicana.

I like this image because it is from a French newspaper of the time and shows, in the upper left, the most iconic image of the entire conflict, “Muerte de un miliciano” (Death of a Loyalist Militiaman), taken by reporter Robert Capa.
I don't know if this is possible, but the most efficient way would be to create this new Period directly in the Spanish Notgeld Issuer, since creating it in all the Civil War final issuers would be very extensive (there are more than 1700 issuers).
Many thanks and sorry for so much work!!!
