Canena is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it resorted to locally printed emergency fractional paper during the Civil War after coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely in 1936–1937. These municipal issues — known collectively as billetes locales or papel moneda local — were produced with whatever printing resources were at hand, often by local shops with no banknote printing experience whatsoever.
Survival rates for Canena issues are poorly documented. The town's small population meant original production runs were limited, and most notes were redeemed or simply discarded once the emergency passed.
