Antas is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of similarly sized towns across Republican-held Spain in 1937, its local council issued fractional emergency notes after the Civil War effectively removed metallic coin from everyday commerce. Silver and copper disappeared into hoarding almost immediately after July 1936, and the central government's response — the official *vales* and *moneda provisional* schemes — was slow and uneven in reaching rural Andalusia.
Gari Montllor's cataloguing of these municipal emissions is the primary reference for the series; the -B suffix in this listing typically denotes a variant distinguished by a minor typographic or color difference from the base type.
