Comments

Teresa de Cofrentes is a small village in the Valencia region, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed. The printer, Leovigildo Martínez, was a local press in the nearby town of Ayora that handled similar commissions for several surrounding councils — the Turró catalog documents a cluster of these Ayora-printed municipals from 1937, all sharing recognizable typographic conventions.

The sole security feature is an official rubber stamp, which varied in legibility across surviving examples and is frequently faint on this type.
