1 Peseta Gijón, Fábrica de Vidrios Gijón Fabril

Gijón Fabril was a glassworks, not a bank — and that is exactly the point. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone suffered a catastrophic shortage of small-denomination coinage almost immediately after July 1936, prompting factories, municipalities, and trade unions across Asturias to print their own emergency fractional currency. This note is one of those industrial issues, authorized locally and accepted within a limited commercial radius rather than through any formal banking channel.

Asturias fell to Nationalist forces in October 1937, which effectively sets a hard terminus for how long these notes could have circulated — likely a matter of months at most.
