| Obverse description | Letterpress-printed in orange and blue inks, the note is framed by a geometric border with the issuer name underlined at the head. The central text block sets out the full payment obligation, naming the Bank of Spain as the redemption authority. The layout is entirely typeset, without vignette or guilloche, consistent with the plain emergency-issue style of Spanish Civil War municipal notes. |

Dalías is a small municipality in Almería province, and this peseta is one of hundreds of locally issued emergency notes that proliferated across Republican-held Spain after the July 1936 military uprising severed normal coin supply chains. With silver and copper hoarded or requisitioned, town councils were authorized — and in practice often simply compelled by necessity — to print their own fractional currency. The Consejo Municipal issues from villages this size were typically produced in very small runs on whatever printing resources were locally available.
Gari Mon#587-C places this within the well-documented Almería provincial grouping, though surviving examples from minor Andalusian municipalities remain genuinely scarce relative to larger urban issues.
