Comments

Campotéjar is a small municipality in the province of Granada, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own fractional paper emergency money during the Civil War period — locally produced notes, often council-authorized, filling the chronic shortage of small coinage that had been hoarded out of circulation by 1936. The Consejo Municipal issues from this part of Andalusia were typically rudimentary productions, printed locally or by hand-stamped means, and survival rates vary enormously given the informal circumstances of their creation and redemption.

The absence of a Gari Morancho catalog number suggests either an unrecorded variety or a note described in earlier literature under a different reference system.
