| Comments |
Mislata is a small municipality immediately west of Valencia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 to address the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from circulation. Republican authorities had effectively stripped low-denomination coins from the economy, and municipal consells across the Valencia region scrambled to fill the gap with locally printed paper. Gráficas Albarracín, a Valencian commercial printer, produced notes for several of these municipal issues simultaneously.
The Turró and Gari catalogues both list this series, reflecting how systematically scholars have had to reconstruct what was essentially improvised wartime monetary policy at the parish level.
