1 Peseta Jamilena

Jamilena is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it resorted to locally-issued paper during the severe small-change shortage of 1936–1937, when metallic coin was hoarded or melted almost immediately after the Civil War broke out. These ayuntamiento-issued notes — technically vales or billetes de necesidad — were emergency instruments authorized by the Republican government to keep local commerce functioning at the most basic level.

The Gari Montserrat reference gap signals this piece either wasn't catalogued with a firm number or remains poorly documented in the main corpus. Thick card stock was common for these municipal emissions precisely because it was more durable than standard banknote paper and locally available.
