Canals is a small town in the Valencia region, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 after silver and copper coins vanished from circulation almost entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply absent from a disrupted supply chain. These consejos municipales notes, sometimes printed locally on whatever stock was available, were valid only within the issuing municipality, which kept them out of broader circulation and ultimately limited survival rates.
The Turró and Garí references place this among the better-documented Valencian municipal emissions, but documentation is not the same as abundance.
