Villaminaya is a village in the Toledo municipio that, like hundreds of other Spanish municipalities, issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after metallic coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely by late 1936. These local cardboard pieces — known generically as cartones — were produced under near-zero technical infrastructure, typically by a local printer or stamp maker, and their authority extended no further than the issuing municipality's own commerce.
The Gari Mon catalogue remains the primary reference for this material, and the 1608A-A designation suggests a documented but scarce variant within the Villaminaya grouping. Survival correlates poorly with original print runs — small villages issued small quantities, and cardboard deteriorates.
