| Comments |
Casas de Haro is a small municipality in Cuenca province, Castilla-La Mancha, and this note belongs to the wave of emergency local currency — known as *billetes de necesidad* — issued across Republican-held Spain during the Civil War after the hoarding and melting of coins created acute small-change shortages from 1936 onward. Hundreds of municipalities printed their own fractional notes, many using local commercial printers with no particular experience in currency production.
Imp. Cros operated out of La Roda, roughly 60 kilometers from Casas de Haro — close enough for a practical printing arrangement, but not a specialist security printer by any measure.
