1 Peseta Antas

One of hundreds of municipal emergency notes issued across Republican-held Spain during the Civil War, when the hoarding of coins — driven by metal scarcity and public panic — stripped small towns of the fractional currency needed for everyday commerce. Antas, a small municipality in Almería province, issued these notes under the same desperate logic as dozens of neighboring towns: local government filling a void the central authorities could not.

The Gari Monetary catalog's "C" suffix for this reference typically indicates a third known variety within the Antas 1 Peseta series — worth confirming against earlier issues from the same municipality before attributing.
