Callosa de Segura was a center of esparto and hemp processing in the Vega Baja, and the Sindicato del Arte Textil — the textile workers' union — issued these fractional notes during the Civil War when Republican Spain's small-change crisis made coins effectively unavailable. Hundreds of local bodies, unions, and municipalities filled the vacuum with their own emergency paper, and the Arte Textil issues are among the more obscure of these, tied to a single trade union in a single town.
The Gari Montaner reference places this in a well-documented but thinly circulated series. Union-issued fracciones from this region were often printed on whatever stock was available, and paper quality varies considerably across surviving examples.
