| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in dark red with green geometric underprint, the obverse carries the municipal coat of arms of Villena as a dry embossed stamp at right, with a yellow-toned vignette of an agricultural scene in the background. The denomination numeral '2' appears alongside the issuing authority's text in letterpress. The overall layout reflects the improvised wartime production typical of Spanish Civil War local emergency issues. |

| Opmerkingen |
Villena, a town in Alicante province, was one of hundreds of Republican municipalities that printed their own fractional currency after the July 1936 military uprising shattered confidence in the central banking system and caused small change to vanish almost immediately from circulation. The Comisión de Abastecimientos — a supply committee, not a bank — had no business issuing currency, yet the practical necessity was absolute.
Local emergency issues like this one were theoretically redeemable but in practice often became worthless once Republican authority in the region collapsed. The Gari Morancho catalogue remains the primary reference for these Spanish Civil War municipal emissions, most of which survive only in tiny quantities.
