Alcántara de Júcar is a small municipality in Valencia province, and like hundreds of Spanish pueblos during the Civil War, its municipal council issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 when Republican-zone coinage simply disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or destroyed. These consejos municipales had no formal banking apparatus; the notes were typically authorized by a local committee resolution and produced on whatever printing resources were at hand, which accounts for the card-stock substrate.
Turó's cataloguing of these Valencia-region emergency issues remains the standard reference. The Gari Monerris numbering cross-references the same material from a regional collector perspective. Neither source records significant quantities surviving.
