| Obverse description | Plain unadorned face printed by letterpress on plain paper, with the issuer name arranged in three centred lines reading 'CONSEJO MUNICIPAL DE TERRINCHES', the word 'TERRINCHES' underlined by a short rule. The denomination voucher inscription 'Vale por 1 pta.' appears in a larger, bolder typeface in the lower portion of the note. The overall design is typographic, with no vignette or ornamental border, reflecting the austere emergency production conditions of the Spanish Civil War. |

Terrinches is a small municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, Castile–La Mancha. This note belongs to the vast category of Spanish Civil War emergency paper — locally issued fractional currency produced by town councils, cooperatives, and anarchist committees when the Republican zone ran short of coin from 1936 onward. The Consejo Municipal issues of this period were rarely authorized through any formal central channel; most were printed on whatever press was locally available, often a jobbing printer serving the comarca.
Survival rates for Terrinches issues are low simply because the issuing population was tiny. High catalog scarcity here is demographic, not dramatic.
