Villargordo is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and this 10 céntimos note is a product of the acute small-change crisis that gripped Republican Spain from 1936 onward. When the Civil War disrupted normal coin supply, hundreds of local councils — many of them tiny — issued their own emergency paper fractional currency under a loose framework that gave municipal bodies the authority to fill the gap. The result was an enormous variety of hyper-local scrip, most of it crude, all of it technically illegal tender beyond the issuing municipality's own borders.
The Gari Mon catalogue documents over a thousand such emissions from Jaén province alone.
