Señera is a small municipality in Valencia province, and like hundreds of similar townships across Republican Spain, its local council was forced into issuing its own emergency fractional currency after the 1936 military uprising disrupted the banking system and drained coins from circulation entirely. These municipally-issued notes — known collectively as papel moneda local — were produced in enormous variety, most on rudimentary equipment with minimal security, and intended for purely local exchange.
At 51 × 29 mm, this is among the smallest format emergency issues on record. The validation stamp was the primary defense against forgery — arguably more important than the serial number given the note's hyper-local circulation radius.
