| Comments |
Almuradiel is a small municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican-held Spain, it was forced to produce its own fractional emergency currency in 1937 after the Civil War effectively destroyed the supply of small change. The Consejo Municipal — the wartime administrative body replacing the peacetime ayuntamiento — authorized these notes to keep local commerce moving when centimos coinage had entirely vanished from circulation.
Printed by Tipografía Minerva in nearby Manzanares, which handled emergency currency for several municipalities in the region. The Gari Mon catalogue reference 149-B suggests at least two variants exist for this denomination.
