Godelleta is a small municipality in the Valencia province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply disrupted by wartime logistics. These local issues, known collectively as "moneda local de guerra," were produced under no central oversight, which is why quality, format, and paper vary so wildly between towns and even between series from the same issuer.
The Turró and Gari catalogues document two variants for this denomination, with the B suffix here indicating a secondary emission — likely a reprint to meet continued demand as the war dragged into 1937.
