2 Pesetas Busquístar

Busquístar is a village in the Alpujarra Granadina with a population that rarely exceeded a few hundred, which makes the existence of a municipally issued emergency note here both entirely predictable and genuinely remarkable. During the Spanish Civil War, the collapse of small-denomination coinage across Republican-held territory forced hundreds of municipalities — including the most remote — to print their own substitute currency under a 1936 decree authorizing local councils to do so.

The Garicosts reference being incomplete suggests this piece has not been formally catalogued or verified against a type specimen, and surviving examples from villages this small are correspondingly rare.
