Puebla de Almoradiel is a small municipality in Toledo province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local administrative council resorted to issuing its own emergency fractional currency when coined money vanished from circulation entirely. The hoarding of metal — copper included — was near-universal by 1936–37, and these hyperlocal issues filled an acute transactional void that the Republican government in Madrid was too stretched to address systematically.
The only security measure is an official council stamp, which varied in ink and placement between printings — a known complication when trying to authenticate examples from this municipality specifically.
