Sedaví is a small municipality in the Valencia province, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican-held Spain, its local council issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 when the withdrawal and hoarding of metal coinage left ordinary commerce at a standstill. These hyper-local emissions — often printed on whatever card stock was available — were strictly town-specific tender, theoretically worthless outside the issuing municipality's jurisdiction.
The official stamp is the primary authentication device, hand-applied at issue. Misaligned or partially struck stampings are common in the series and do not indicate forgery.
