Comments

Alborea is a small municipality in Albacete province, Castilla-La Mancha, and like hundreds of similarly sized Spanish towns it issued emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's small-denomination coins effectively vanished from circulation in 1936. These local vales were produced under desperate circumstances — often on whatever paper and printing equipment the town hall had to hand — and the Consejo Municipal issues from villages of this size rarely turn up in any quantity. The Gari catalogue reference is unassigned, meaning documentation on this specific emission remains incomplete.
