Ademuz issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1937 because the Republican zone had been almost entirely stripped of low-denomination coinage by the second year of the Civil War. The phenomenon was nationwide — hundreds of Spanish municipalities, cooperatives, and local committees printed their own notes and cardboard discs to fill the vacuum — but Ademuz's situation was compounded by its geography: a small exclave of Valencia completely surrounded by Aragonese territory, making reliable supply of official currency from either Madrid or Valencia genuinely difficult.
The Turró and Gari catalogues both list multiple variants for this municipality, and the C suffix in the Gari reference indicates a third distinct type within the series.
