1 Peseta Puertollano

Puertollano, a mining town in Ciudad Real province, was one of hundreds of Spanish municipalities forced to issue emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after Republican-zone coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation in 1936–37. These local emissions — called "moneda local de emergencia" — were sanctioned loosely by the Republican government but produced under wildly uneven conditions, which is why print quality across the series varies so dramatically from one municipality to the next.

The Gari catalogue remains the primary reference for these issues, and the relatively low collector penetration of Puertollano pieces compared to larger Catalan or Basque emissions keeps valuations inconsistent at auction.
