| Comments |
Municipal emergency paper from Molinicos, a small village in the Sierra de Alcaraz in Albacete province. These purely local issues emerged during the Spanish Civil War when Republican-zone municipalities faced acute small-change shortages after metallic coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely by mid-1936. Town councils, collectives, and local committees across Spain stepped in with improvised cartón and paper fractional currency that had no validity beyond the issuing municipality's limits.
The Garrido Molinero reference number being incomplete suggests this piece remains incompletely catalogued — either a variant not yet fully documented or a known type awaiting proper enumeration.
