Casinos is a small municipality in the comarca of Camp de Túria, Valencia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency small-change notes when coinage effectively vanished from circulation in 1936–37. The Republican government's inability to maintain a functioning fractional coin supply forced municipalities, cooperatives, and trade unions across the loyalist zone to print their own scrip — legally dubious but practically necessary.
The printer, Tip. M. Zamit of Meliana, was a local Valencian jobbing press that handled several such municipal issues in the region. The near-square format is a direct consequence of the card stock used — easier to cut in bulk than to print in standard banknote proportions.
