Paiporta is a small municipality just south of Valencia, and like hundreds of other Republican-controlled towns in the summer of 1936, its local revolutionary committee issued its own emergency fractional currency when the outbreak of the Civil War severed reliable access to small-denomination coin. These village-level emissions were technically illegal under the Republican government's own monetary regulations, though enforcement was essentially impossible in the early months of the conflict.
The Turró and Gari catalogues document dozens of Valencian provincial issues from this period, and survival rates vary wildly — some committee emissions ran to only a few hundred pieces before the issuing body was dissolved or absorbed into a higher authority.
