| Additional information |
Soneja is a small agricultural village in the Palancia valley that, like hundreds of Republican municipalities during the Civil War, faced an acute shortage of small change after metallic coin hoarding and the collapse of normal monetary supply chains left local commerce essentially paralysed. The Comité Ejecutivo Popular — the revolutionary committee that replaced the pre-war municipal government — issued this cardboard token as an emergency substitute, a strictly local solution to a problem the Republican central authorities were slow to address.
Cardboard issues from villages of Soneja's size survive in far smaller numbers than the better-documented Valencia city emissions catalogued by Turró.
