| Comments |
Bonete is a small municipality in Albacete province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed in 1936–37. These consejo municipal notes were stopgap instruments, typically printed on whatever paper was available locally — sometimes letterhead stock, sometimes repurposed commercial stationery — with hand-stamping and signatures adding whatever official weight the issuing body could muster.
Gari catalogues this as 353-C, implying at least two earlier varieties for Bonete's 1 peseta, suggesting the council revised its issue more than once during the war.
