Comments

Tíjola is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican-controlled Spain, its local council issued emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after metallic coins vanished almost entirely from circulation by 1936–37. These consejo municipal issues were typically produced locally with minimal printing infrastructure — a rubber stamp providing the only security feature is entirely consistent with that environment.

Gari Mon catalogues this as #1418-A, implying at least one variant exists. Local Spanish Civil War emergency issues are frequently found with ink bleed, misaligned stampings, or irregular cuts — not damage, but production characteristics inherent to the type.
