Puebla de Don Fadrique is a small municipality in Granada province, and this 1 Peseta note is one of hundreds of emergency local currency issues that proliferated across Republican-held Spain during 1936–37. The Nationalist advance disrupted coin supplies almost immediately — the Republic's silver and copper coinage was hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable — forcing town councils, trade unions, and cooperatives to print their own fractional substitutes. These are collectively catalogued under the Spanish Civil War emergency issues, with Gari's monograph remaining the primary reference.
Municipal issues from this region are among the least documented in terms of surviving print runs, and many were redeemed locally and destroyed before the war ended.
