Yeste is a small municipality in the sierra of Albacete province, and this note belongs to the vast ecosystem of Spanish Civil War emergency local currency — the billetes locales issued from 1936 onward when the Republic's central coinage supply collapsed and village councils were left to improvise. The Consejo Municipal, typically the de facto Republican administrative body during the war, authorized these fractional issues to keep local commerce moving. Thousands of Spanish towns did the same; what distinguishes any individual piece is usually the printer.
Collado in Albacete was one of the more capable provincial print shops pressed into this work, and its output tends to be better registered than notes run off on hand presses in smaller towns.
