| Comments |
Villarrubia de los Ojos is a small municipality in Ciudad Real province, and this note is a product of the Republican zone's emergency monetary improvisation during the Civil War. When the Nationalist blockade disrupted coin supply across Castilla-La Mancha, hundreds of town councils — many with no banking infrastructure whatsoever — issued their own fractional paper under a loose framework tolerated by the Republican government.
The Consejo Municipal series from this town is sparsely documented. Gari's catalog remains the primary reference for these local emissions, and surviving examples from villages of this size are genuinely uncommon — production runs were small, redemption was haphazard, and most notes disappeared with the war's end in 1939.
