Navas de San Juan is a small municipality in Jaén province, Andalusia, and this 10 céntimos note is one of hundreds of hyperlocal emergency issues that flooded Republican-held Spain in 1937 as the Civil War severed normal coin supply chains. The Banco de España had suspended small denomination coinage effectively enough that municipal councils — ayuntamientos and consejos alike — were authorized, or simply compelled by circumstances, to print their own fractional scrip to keep local commerce moving.
Juan José Collado López signed as alcalde, making him personally responsible for the note's redemption — a guarantee that would have depended entirely on which side won. Gari Montaner's catalog documents this type as 998-A, suggesting at least one variant exists within the series.
