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.

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.
