Comments

One of hundreds of local emergency emissions that flooded the Republican zone in the opening months of the Spanish Civil War. When the central government's coin supply collapsed almost immediately after July 1936, municipalities, trade unions, and factory committees across Loyalist Spain printed their own fractional notes — legally dubious, practically necessary. Ronda's Comité de Defensa was among the earliest and most prolific issuers in Málaga province.

Ronda fell to Nationalist forces in September 1936, ending the committee's authority and the note's validity after roughly two months in circulation.
