Campillo de Arenas is a small municipality in the sierra north of Jaén, and this note was issued by the local branch of the Unión General de Trabajadores' land workers' federation — not a bank, not a municipality, but an agrarian trade union operating its own emergency scrip during the Civil War period. The UGT's rural sections across Andalusia and other Republican zones issued these tiny-format notes when coin disappeared from circulation after 1936, hoarded or melted almost immediately once the war began disrupting normal commerce.
The handstamp is the only authentication — there was no printing infrastructure in villages of this size, so validation fell to whoever held the union's rubber stamp.
