| Comments |
Dos Torres is a small municipality in the northern comarca of Los Pedroches, Córdoba province. During the Civil War, the Republican zone experienced an acute shortage of fractional coinage — centimos and small pesetas vanished into hoarding almost immediately after July 1936 — forcing hundreds of Spanish municipalities to issue their own emergency paper. The Consejo Municipal de Dos Torres was one of thousands of local bodies that stepped into that vacuum.
