2 Pesetas Castilléjar

Castilléjar is a small municipality in Granada province, and like hundreds of other Republican-controlled towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 when small-denomination coinage had effectively disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply not reaching rural areas. These municipal emissions were a decentralized stopgap, authorized loosely by the Republican government but designed and produced locally with whatever printing resources were at hand.

Gari Montllor catalogues two variants for Castilléjar's 2 Pesetas emission; this is the B type. The distinctions between A and B in this series are typically typographic or ink-related rather than substantive redesigns.
