Úbeda is a small city in Jaén province, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its ayuntamiento began issuing its own fractional paper currency in 1937 when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed. These local emergency notes — collectively called "billetes municipales" — were produced under wildly inconsistent conditions, often on whatever printing stock was available, with rubber stamps serving as the primary authentication mechanism.
The Gari Monetary catalog documents multiple variants for this series; the "D" suffix here indicates a specific stamp type or paper variant distinguished by Spanish Civil War specialists.
