Layos is a village in the Toledo province with a population that, even during the 1930s, numbered only in the hundreds. That a Consejo Municipal of this size issued its own emergency paper fractional currency during the Civil War is less surprising than it sounds — the hoarding of coin after July 1936 was so severe that hundreds of Spanish municipalities, many far smaller than anyone would expect, were forced to print their own scrip simply to make change. The Imprenta Provincial de Ocaña, serving the comarca, handled these local commissions without fanfare.
