Castellón de Rugat is a small municipality in the Valencia region with a population that barely reached a few hundred during the 1930s. That a village of this size was printing its own peseta notes in 1937 speaks directly to the collapse of small-denomination coinage across Republican Spain — silver and copper had vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted, forcing even the smallest ayuntamientos to paper over the gap with locally authorized emergency issues.
The Turró and Gari catalogues both document this note, but surviving examples are genuinely uncommon; rural Valencian municipal issues were produced in small runs and rarely left their home districts.
