Comments

Navalvillar de Pela is a small municipality in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura. This note belongs to the vast category of Spanish Civil War–era local emergency currency — the billetes locales — issued from 1936 onward when the Republic's central government could no longer guarantee adequate small-denomination coinage supply to every town. Hundreds of municipalities improvised their own fractional notes, many produced with nothing more sophisticated than a local printer and a rubber stamp.

The Garrido Mora reference number being unassigned suggests this piece remains inadequately documented — a not uncommon situation for the smaller Extremaduran localities.
