Comments

El Pedernoso is a small municipality in Cuenca province, Castilla-La Mancha, and like hundreds of similar councils across Republican-held Spain in 1937, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the central government's small-denomination coinage evaporated from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent. These local vales were technically provisional, redeemable in theory once proper coinage returned, though for many issuing councils that redemption never came in any organized way.

The Garrido Moraga reference being absent suggests this piece has not been fully catalogued or attributed within that specialist corpus, which is not unusual for the smaller Cuenca emissions.
