| Comments |
Villardompardo is a small municipality in Jaén province, Andalusia, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s. That a council this size issued its own paper currency speaks directly to the breakdown of the Spanish monetary supply during the Civil War — the Republican zone faced a chronic shortage of small coinage almost immediately after July 1936, forcing municipalities, trade unions, and cooperatives across Spain to print emergency scrip locally.
The Garicoinmunicipal reference being incomplete signals how thinly documented many of these hyper-local emissions remain. Survival rates for village-level Civil War scrip are genuinely unpredictable — some issues effectively disappeared, others survived in bulk because they were never actually redeemed.
