Villamayor de Calatrava is a small municipality in the Campo de Calatrava region of Ciudad Real province, and this 10 céntimos piece belongs to the enormous category of Spanish Civil War-era local emergency currency — vales, cartones, or billetes de necesidad — issued from 1936 onward when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed almost immediately after the military uprising. Small denominations vanished from circulation first, hoarded or melted, forcing municipalities across Republican-held territory to improvise their own fractional substitutes.
The Garrido Moraga reference number is unassigned, which typically signals either a very recently documented piece or one known from only one or two surviving examples.
