1 Peseta Lezuza

Lezuza is a small municipality in Albacete province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional paper when coinage effectively vanished from circulation in 1936–37. These consejo municipal notes were produced locally, often on whatever stock was available, which accounts for the extreme variation in paper quality and impression found across surviving examples of this series — Gari Mon catalogues two distinct varieties under 818A and 818B, likely reflecting different print runs or paper sources.

At under 50mm in either direction, these are among the smallest emergency issues of the war. Survival rates for Albacete provincial issues tend to be low; most circulated hard in cash-starved rural economies before being rendered worthless.
