2 Pesetas Castril

Castril is a small municipality in the northeastern corner of Granada province, and like hundreds of other Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency paper money when coinage all but vanished from circulation by mid-1937. The Republican government's inability to supply small change to rural municipalities meant councils were legally permitted — and practically forced — to print their own.

The Garrió Montagut catalog reference is incomplete for this note, which itself suggests survival is sparse. Local Valencian and Andalusian issues at the 2-peseta denomination were often printed in very small runs on whatever paper stock was available, and attrition has been severe.
