Conquista is a small municipality in Córdoba province, Andalusia, with a population that has rarely exceeded a few hundred. That a municipal council ever issued its own emergency paper money is itself the story — these centimos notes belong to the Civil War-era *moneda local* tradition, when hundreds of Spanish towns printed fractional scrip between 1936 and 1939 to compensate for the hoarding and disappearance of metal coinage. This 2003 piece is a modern facsimile of that original, produced by the national mint in Madrid.
The FNMT-RCM's involvement lends the reproduction an unusual technical legitimacy — watermarked paper from a security printer is a serious production choice for what is essentially a philatelic collectible.
