1 Peseta Pórtugos

Pórtugos is a small village in the Alpujarras region of Granada province, and like hundreds of other Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional paper money when coins vanished entirely from circulation in the summer of 1936. These municipal notes — cartones, as they were commonly called — were produced with whatever printing resources were locally available, which in villages of this size often meant a rubber stamp and a hand-cut piece of card or paper.

The Gari Montero census documents this specific emission as 1162A-A, suggesting a variant classification within a small series. Survivorship is unpredictable with issues from villages of this scale — some are genuinely rare, others surface repeatedly from a single local hoard.
