2 Pesetas Bujalance

Bujalance, a small olive-farming town in Córdoba province, came under Republican control at the outbreak of the Civil War and its Frente Popular committee issued emergency cardboard notes to address an acute shortage of small-denomination coinage — a problem that afflicted hundreds of Republican-held municipalities simultaneously after the coup disrupted normal monetary supply chains. The Banco de España's coin stocks simply couldn't reach isolated towns, and barter was impractical at market scale.

The Gari Mon reference gap indicates this piece remains uncatalogued or provisionally listed, which is not unusual for Bujalance emissions — local committee records were largely destroyed or dispersed after Nationalist forces took the town in 1939.
