Linares de Mora is a small municipality in the Teruel province of Aragon, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican Spain, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the withdrawal of metallic coinage from circulation created an acute shortage of small change. These local issues — technically vouchers rather than banknotes in the strict sense — were authorized under the improvised emergency provisions of 1936–1937 and were only valid within the issuing municipality's jurisdiction.
The official stamp substituted for more sophisticated security. No engraver, no printer on record.
