| Comments |
Villafranca del Cid — now officially Vilafranca, in the Valencian Community — issued its own fractional emergency currency during the Civil War when the Republic's central supply of small-denomination coinage effectively collapsed. Municipal councils across loyalist Spain were authorized, informally or by local decree, to fill the void. This note is among the smallest-format issues of that period, reflecting both the modest resources of a rural inland municipality and the urgency of the moment.
The Gari Montllor catalog remains the principal reference for these Spanish Civil War local issues, and the -F suffix in the reference number typically denotes a specific variation within the type.
