| Comments |
Dos Torres is a small municipality in the north of Córdoba province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued its own emergency fractional currency when coin shortages made small change impossible to obtain. These consejo municipal notes were produced in enormous variety across Republican-held territory from 1936 onward — quality ranged from professionally printed stock to hand-stamped card — and the Dos Torres pieces fall toward the simpler end of that spectrum.
The Gari Monetary reference remains unassigned, which usually indicates a piece known from only one or two specimens at the time the catalog was compiled.
