Yébenes — a small municipality in the Toledo province of Castile-La Mancha — issued fractional emergency paper during the Spanish Civil War, when the Republican government's coin shortage forced thousands of local councils across Spain to produce their own small-change substitutes. The Consejo Municipal's stamp served as the only authentication, a minimal measure that did little to prevent counterfeiting but was widely accepted locally out of sheer necessity.
The Gari Monetary catalogue documents this as a single known type for Yébenes. Notes of this denomination from such minor issuers rarely survived in quantity — most were redeemed and pulped or simply worn to nothing in daily market use.
