| Comments |
One of hundreds of local emergency emissions that flooded Republican-held Spain in the summer and autumn of 1936, as the collapse of normal banking channels left municipal governments scrambling to keep commerce moving. Tarancón, a small Castilla-La Mancha town on the Madrid–Valencia road, issued its own notes through the local print shop — Casa Rabadán — rather than wait for any centralized solution that was slow in coming.
The sole security feature was an official municipal stamp, which offered almost no protection against copying but was the practical limit of what a town press could manage under wartime conditions.
