| Reverse description | The reverse is on plain unprinted paper bearing a single blue oval municipal validation stamp applied off-center to the left, with the legend of Motilla del Palancar running around its circumference and a small central device. A handwritten serial number appears in the upper right area, consistent with the hand-finished validation practice common to Spanish Civil War-era local emergency issues. |

Motilla del Palancar is a small inland town in Cuenca province, and like hundreds of Republican municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper when coinage vanished from circulation entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. These local emergency emissions, known collectively as billetes locales, were authorized under Republican decree but produced under wildly variable conditions, often by local printers with whatever stock was available.
The Gari Montserrat reference remains unassigned, which typically indicates the note was catalogued too late or from too few known examples to receive a full number. Survivorship for issues from small Castilian municipalities is genuinely poor.
