Rafelbuñol is a small municipality in the Valencian Community, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency currency after the Republic's central supply of small coinage collapsed under wartime hoarding and metal requisitioning. These local vales were a purely practical response — Burgos-aligned forces had disrupted normal commerce, and without centimos in circulation, market transactions simply stalled.
Tip. H. Zamit operated out of Eliana, itself a village of comparable size nearby. The Turró and Gari references catalog this as a single known type, suggesting limited print runs with little variation documented to date.
