Tous is a small municipality in Valencia province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation in 1937. These local emissions — collectively catalogued under the broad umbrella of "paper money of the Civil War" — were never intended to travel far. A note from Tous would have circulated within the village itself, accepted at local shops and markets by neighbors who knew the issuing body personally.
The dual catalogue references under Gari and Turró reflect the fragmented scholarship on Spanish Civil War local issues — no single authoritative census has ever been completed, and new varieties still surface.
