Camuñas is a small municipality in the province of Toledo, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War — the result of a near-total collapse in small-change circulation after 1936. The Consejo Municipal issues from this region are among the more obscure entries in Gari's catalog, often produced locally with minimal printing resources and circulating within a tightly bounded geographic area, sometimes only within the issuing town itself.
Survival rates for these municipal issues vary wildly. Notes that stayed in local hands through the war's end were frequently discarded or lost during the post-war period, when association with Republican municipal administration carried real risk.
