Viveros is a small municipality in Albacete province, Castilla-La Mancha, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued fractional paper currency to address the acute shortage of small coin that had all but vanished from circulation by late 1936. The Republican government's decree authorizing local emergency emissions gave administrative cover to these issues, but production quality and design varied enormously from one ayuntamiento to the next.
The Garicano-Montoya reference places this within the documented Albacete provincial series, though surviving examples from Viveros are scarce enough that census data on this specific emission remains thin.
