Tíjola is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns, its local council issued emergency fractional paper money during the Civil War when Republican-zone coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation after 1936. These municipal notes — technically vales or emergency currency — were produced under no central oversight, often on whatever printing stock was available locally. Many were handstamped, rubber-printed, or typed rather than formally engraved.
Survival rates for Tíjola emissions are low simply because the issuing authority was small and the total print runs were modest. The Gari Montserrat census remains the primary reference for these Almería municipal pieces precisely because official documentation rarely survived the war's end.
