Tévar was a tiny rural municipality in Cuenca province, and its Consejo de Administración was one of hundreds of local bodies that issued emergency paper scrip during the Spanish Civil War after the collapse of coin circulation in Republican-held territory. These hyperlocal emissions — often produced on whatever paper was available, sometimes hand-stamped or typewritten — were largely a practical response to the hoarding and disappearance of metallic currency from 1936 onward.
The Gari cataloguing of Spanish Civil War local issues remains the primary reference for material this obscure. Many Cuenca province emissions exist in single-digit surviving quantities.
