| Obverse description | Typeset letterpress note printed in black ink, with the municipal authority text arranged centrally and flanked by lateral floral ornamental designs. The coat of arms of the Spanish Republic appears as a lightly printed underprint in the background. The denomination and issuing authority legends are the primary design elements, reflecting the austere wartime emergency production typical of Spanish Civil War local issues. |

| Comments |
Ricote is a small municipality in the Segura river valley of Murcia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its ayuntamiento issued emergency fractional paper when coin shortages made small transactions nearly impossible. These local cartones and vales were stopgap instruments, often produced on whatever printing equipment — or none at all — was locally available, with no central oversight of design or security.
The Gari Mon catalog remains the primary reference for Spanish Civil War local issues, but many Murcian municipal emissions are known from single surviving examples. Ricote's issues are among the scarcer provincial pieces from the region.
