Caudete de las Fuentes is a small inland municipality in Valencia province, and like hundreds of similar towns it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's coin supply collapsed entirely in 1936–37. These municipal vouchers — technically vales or billetes de necesidad — were authorised locally and had no validity beyond the issuing township's boundaries.
The thick card construction was deliberate: thinner paper disintegrated quickly in daily use, and municipalities learned fast. Survival rates for these micro-issues are unpredictable — some towns printed in tiny quantities, others in the thousands, and the records rarely survived the war's end.
