Fuentealbilla is a small municipality in Albacete province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council was forced to produce its own fractional emergency currency after Republican authorities requisitioned metallic coinage for the war effort. The 1936–1939 period saw thousands of these locally issued pieces — cartones, papeletas, vales — filling a gap the central government never adequately addressed.
The Garrido Monier reference is incomplete, which is typical for the smaller Castilla-La Mancha municipalities, where surviving documentation is sparse and collector census numbers remain low.
