Puebla Larga is a small municipality in the Valencia province, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican Spain, its local council began issuing emergency fractional currency in 1936–37 after the hoarding of coins and metallic money created an acute shortage of small change. These municipal notes — technically called "vales" or local currency — were rarely printed by specialist firms; many were produced by local printers with whatever typography was at hand, and quality varied dramatically even within a single series.
The Turró and Gari catalogues between them document thousands of such emissions, but survival rates for individual municipalities can be extremely uneven. Puebla Larga's issue is among the more obscure Valencia province emissions, and circulated across a very limited geographic radius.
