| Comments |
Nerpio is a small municipality in the interior of Albacete province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its ayuntamiento issued emergency fractional paper when coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable in the Republican zone by mid-1937. These local municipally-issued pieces, collectively catalogued under the broader "guerra civil" emergency currency literature, were produced with whatever printing resources the town had on hand, which in Nerpio's case meant extremely modest technical means.
The Garrido Mora reference (Gari Mon#1000-A) places this among the rarer Albacete provincial issues — Nerpio's total output was small, and surviving pieces in any condition are infrequently encountered in trade.
