Comments

Énova is a tiny municipality in the Valencia comarca of La Ribera Alta — its wartime emergency scrip exists because the Spanish Republic's central government could not keep small-denomination coinage in circulation during the Civil War. Republican-zone municipalities were authorized to issue their own local paper from 1936 onward, producing hundreds of distinct series, most in negligible quantities. Énova's issues are among the scarcest of the Valencian village series.

The Turró and Gari catalogues both list this type as genuinely rare in any condition — survival depends almost entirely on whether a local hoard surfaced.
