During the Spanish Civil War, acute coin shortages forced hundreds of municipalities to issue their own emergency paper currency — these are collectively known as "billetes de necesidad." Santa María del Campo Rus, a small agricultural township in Cuenca province, was among the lesser-documented issuers, which is precisely why Gari's catalogue entry remains incomplete for this series. The gap in the reference number signals that systematic documentation of this particular municipality's emissions is still unresolved.
Provincial Cuenca issues from this period are notoriously underrepresented in major collections. Survival rates were low — most circulated hard and briefly, then vanished.
