| Comments |
Andújar issued its own emergency paper money in 1937 because the Republic's small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply consumed by the chaos of the Civil War. Hundreds of Spanish municipalities did the same, producing what collectors now call billetes locales or moneda de necesidad. The three signatures here — García Olivares, Rica, and Gutiérrez — were almost certainly local municipal officials rather than banking personnel; Andújar had no bank of issue.
The Gari Mon catalogue remains the standard reference for these provincial emissions, and the "-A" suffix on #168 indicates at least one variant exists for this denomination.
