Casas Ibáñez is a small municipality in Albacete province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it was forced to produce its own fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's metallic coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable in rural areas. These local emergency issues, collectively known as "moneda local de necesidad," were authorised under a series of Republican decrees in 1937 that attempted to bring some official legitimacy to what was already happening spontaneously across loyalist-held territory.
The Gari Montaner catalogue remains the primary reference for these Albacete provincial issues. Survival rates vary sharply by municipality — smaller towns produced shorter runs, and many notes were never redeemed.
