Abenójar is a small municipality in Ciudad Real province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 when Republican-zone coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. The Consejo Municipal issues were purely local instruments — accepted at the shop counter, worthless a few kilometers down the road.
The thick card stock was a practical choice given the improvised nature of production. Gari Mon#5-A suggests this is among the earliest catalogued variants for this issuer, though Abenójar's emissions are scarce enough that population data remains thin.
