Andújar, a town in the Jaén province of Andalusia, remained under Republican control during the early part of the Civil War, and its municipal council — like hundreds of others across the zone — issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 to address a catastrophic shortage of small change. The Banco de España had effectively stopped supplying coinage to Republican-held areas, and local ayuntamientos and consejos stepped in to fill the void, each producing their own scrip with whatever printing resources were available.
Artes Gráficas U.R.I. was a collectivized printing operation working under anarcho-syndicalist union control — the U.R.I. designation reflects that wartime collectivization structure. Notes of this type rarely survived intact; most were redeemed or simply discarded once the Nationalist advance rendered them worthless.
