Cárcer is a small municipality in Valencia's Ribera Alta comarca, and like hundreds of other Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone small change collapsed in 1936–37. The Consell Municipal — operating under the authority delegated to local bodies by the Generalitat Valenciana and the central Republican government — printed these low-denomination notes to keep retail transactions functioning when silver and copper coinage had been hoarded out of existence.
The Turró and Garicollection references confirm this as a documented emission, not a fantasy issue, though survival rates for Valencian municipal notes at this denomination are generally poor given how casually they were treated during circulation.
