Linares de Mora is a small municipality in the Maestrazgo district of Teruel, Aragon — one of hundreds of Spanish towns that issued emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republic's central government authorized local authorities to produce fractional currency in 1936 to address a severe coin shortage. These municipal emissions were typically crude, often hand-stamped, and printed in tiny quantities. Survival rates are low simply because the notes were never designed to last.
The official stamp is the sole security feature — a pragmatic solution when sophisticated printing infrastructure was unavailable.
