| Comments |
Daimiel, a small agricultural town in Ciudad Real province, was firmly under Republican control during the Civil War, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities in 1937, resorted to issuing its own fractional paper money after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation. The Nationalist blockade of Republican supply lines accelerated the collapse of small change, and the central government's response — the official issue of small-denomination cardboard discs — was neither sufficient nor universally distributed.
Municipal issues of this type were printed locally, often by whatever press happened to be available. Production quality varies enormously across the Gari catalogue for this region, and Daimiel's issue is among the less technically accomplished.
