| Comments |
Cinctorres is a village in the Castellón interior with a population that barely reached 700 during the Republic. Like hundreds of Aragonese and Valencian municipalities in 1937, it issued its own fractional paper when Republican authorities failed to keep small coinage in circulation — silver and copper had vanished through hoarding and wartime disruption almost immediately after July 1936.
The issuing body, the Unión Comercial, was a local merchants' collective rather than a municipal council, which is the detail that makes this note cataloguable separately from the more common ayuntamiento emissions of the same period.
