Comments

Campanario is a small municipality in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, and this note is a product of the Spanish Civil War's monetary chaos — the Republican zone's near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage after 1936 forced thousands of town councils to print their own emergency paper. The Consejo Municipal issues were technically illegal under central Republican monetary authority but were tolerated out of necessity.

The Gari Monetary catalog remains the primary reference for these local Spanish emergency issues, and the 414-C suffix indicates a distinct variety within the Campanario 1 Peseta series — likely a color, serial, or signature variant.
