Ibros is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and this note belongs to the enormous wave of locally-issued emergency paper produced across Republican Spain during the Civil War after the 1936 military uprising severed normal coin supply chains. Municipal councils, trade unions, and local committees printed or stamped their own fractional currency because there was simply nothing else to use — silver and copper had been hoarded or requisitioned almost immediately.
The Gari Montllor catalog reference places this in a well-documented but thinly-circulated series. Most Jaén-province municipals were redeemed or destroyed after Nationalist forces took the region in 1939.
