Biar is a small town in the Alicante province of Valencia, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its local government issued emergency fractional currency when the Republic's coin supply collapsed after 1936. Hoarding of metallic coinage — driven by wartime panic — stripped everyday commerce of small change almost overnight, forcing alcaldías to print their own. These local emissions were authorised under Republican decree but produced with whatever printing resources the municipality had to hand.
The Gari Montserrat catalogue documents this 2 pesetas piece as F-grade, suggesting the type survives more commonly in lower condition — unsurprising given the thin paper stock and rough handling typical of notes that circulated in village-level trade.
