Adzaneta — a small municipality in the Castellón province of Valencia — issued fractional emergency currency in 1937 as part of the broader Republican-zone phenomenon of *moneda local*, driven by a near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation. Copper and silver had been hoarded, melted, or absorbed by the war economy, leaving village councils across Catalonia, Valencia, and Aragon to fill the void with paper chits of their own design and authority.
At 43 × 30 mm, this is genuinely tiny even by the standards of Spanish Civil War municipal issues. The thick card stock was a practical choice — thin paper at that size simply didn't survive handling in a market or taberna.
