| Obverse description | Utilitarian wartime emergency note printed in brown letterpress on thick card stock. The issuer name, underlined, is centred at the head of the note flanked by simple geometric border ornaments, with the denomination stated in abbreviated form within the central text block. The overall layout is unadorned, consistent with locally produced Civil War-era vales issued by Spanish municipal councils. |

Noguerones de Alcaudete is a small rural settlement in Jaén province, Andalusia — the kind of place whose wartime scrip rarely survives because so little was printed and almost none was formally archived. During the Spanish Civil War, hundreds of municipal councils across Republican-held territory issued emergency small-denomination notes to address the acute shortage of fractional coin, which had been hoarded or melted almost immediately after July 1936. The Consejo Municipal here was no different in motive, only in scale.
The use of thick card stock rather than banknote paper was typical of the smallest and most resource-limited issuers — it was whatever the local printer had available.
