| Comments |
Puebla Larga is a small agricultural municipality in Valencia province, and like hundreds of similar towns during the Spanish Civil War, its local council issued fractional paper currency when metallic coin effectively disappeared from circulation after 1936. The Republican government had sanctioned emergency municipal issues, but oversight was minimal — quality, design, and even legality varied enormously from one town to the next.
The Turró and Gari Montserrat references place this within the well-documented but vast corpus of Valencian emergency issues. Cross-listed examples suggest limited original print runs.
