Cuevas de Vinromá is a small municipality in Castellón province, and this 1 Peseta note is one of hundreds of locally issued emergency fractional pieces produced across Republican-held territory during the Civil War after the withdrawal of small metallic coins from circulation caused an acute change shortage. Municipal councils, cooperatives, and even individual businesses were effectively deputized by necessity to print their own scrip.
The thick card construction was deliberate — thinner paper wore through within weeks under heavy daily use in a wartime economy running on improvised instruments.
