Ohanes is a small agricultural municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own fractional paper money during the Civil War period when Republican-zone coinage essentially disappeared from circulation after 1936. These hyper-local emissions — often produced on whatever paper and printing equipment was available — were technically illegal under central Republican monetary regulations but tolerated out of practical necessity.
The Gari Morell catalog remains the primary reference for these Andalusian municipal issues, and the 1015-A designation suggests at least one variant exists. Survival rates for Ohanes notes are low; the town's population was small, print runs were modest, and few residents had reason to preserve what was essentially emergency small change.
