Arjonilla is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it resorted to locally issued emergency fractional notes during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of 1936 effectively removed small coinage from circulation. The Consejo Municipal issues from this region were almost entirely of local validity — worthless outside the town itself, printed in tiny quantities, and rarely preserved with any care.
Survival rate for Arjonilla municipals is low. These notes were spent, torn, and discarded by people under wartime conditions, not collected.
