Beniarjó is a small agricultural municipality in the Valencia region, and like hundreds of similar townships during the Spanish Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency — paper chits to replace hoarded coinage that had effectively vanished from circulation by mid-1937. The Nationalist blockade and Republican wartime requisitioning had drained small change almost entirely from rural Valencian commerce.
The Turró and Gari-Mon references place this firmly within the documented Valencian series, though surviving examples are scarce given the note's purely local utility and the chaos of the post-war period, when Republican municipal scrip was actively suppressed and destroyed by Franco's administration.
