Pozoblanco is a small municipality in the province of Córdoba, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when coinage effectively vanished from circulation after 1936. These local emissions — collectively catalogued under the Guerra Civil series — were produced under wildly varying conditions, with some municipalities commissioning professional printers and others resorting to hand-stamps on whatever card stock was available. Pozoblanco managed to engage Imprenta Bassa i Pagès of Barcelona, a legitimate commercial press, which placed it in the more organized tier of municipal issuers.
The incomplete Gari Molins reference suggests this piece remains insufficiently documented — not unusual for minor Andalusian emissions, where survival rates were low and cataloguers have relied heavily on collector submissions rather than archival records.
