Enguera is a small municipality in Valencia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued emergency small-change notes when coinage effectively disappeared from circulation in 1936–37. The Republican government had authorized local bodies to fill the vacuum, producing an extraordinary proliferation of hyper-local paper — most printed in tiny quantities, many never redeemed.
The Turró and Gari Mon references place this firmly within the documented Valencian provincial issues, but survival rates for Enguera notes are low. The town's wartime disruption was severe, and post-war Francoist authorities made no effort to preserve what they considered illegal Republican scrip.
