Campillo de Altobuey is a small municipality in Cuenca province, Castilla-La Mancha. Like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency in 1937 to address the acute shortage of small coinage — Republican-zone hoarding and metal requisitioning for the war effort had effectively stripped everyday commerce of workable change.
These municipal emissions were technically unauthorized by the central Republican government but tolerated out of necessity. The Gari Montalvo reference places this firmly within the documented Cuenca regional series, though survival rates for village-level issues from this province are uneven at best.
