Campillo de Altobuey is a small municipality in Cuenca province, Castilla-La Mancha, and like hundreds of similarly sized Spanish towns it resorted to locally printed fractional emergency notes during the Civil War after the Republic's small-denomination coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply destroyed in the chaos. These municipal emissions were technically unauthorized but tacitly tolerated by Republican authorities who had no practical alternative.
The Garicano-Montaner reference places this among the better-documented provincial issues, though surviving examples from Campillo de Altobuey are scarce enough that condition is rarely the collector's first concern.
