1 Peseta Orgaz

Orgaz is a small municipality in the province of Toledo, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency when the Republic's central supply of small-change coinage collapsed entirely. These consejo municipal notes were legal only within the issuing town — a purely local solution to a national problem.

The official stamp was the primary — often the only — anti-counterfeiting measure available to town councils with no printing infrastructure. Forgery was still a known risk, and the Nationalist advance through Castilla-La Mancha meant many of these issues had extremely short active lives before the issuing authority ceased to exist.
