| Comments |
Peal de Becerro is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia. Notes of this type belong to Spain's vast body of *billetes locales* — emergency fractional currency issued by hundreds of towns during the Civil War years of 1936–1939, when Republican-held areas faced acute shortages of small coin after the Nationalist blockade disrupted normal monetary supply. Municipalities, cooperatives, and even individual businesses filled the gap with their own paper, most of it crude, some of it on whatever card stock was locally available.
Few of these local emissions were formally documented at the time, and survival rates are highly uneven.
