Conquista is a small municipality in Córdoba province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own fractional paper money during the Civil War after the Republic's metallic coinage effectively vanished from circulation in 1936–37. These local emergency notes were produced under improvised conditions — often on whatever paper was available, stamped or hand-signed by local officials — and most were redeemed or destroyed when the war ended. Very few survived in any quantity.
The Gari Morera catalog remains the primary reference for Andalusian municipal issues, and the "B" suffix here indicates a secondary type within the series — likely a variation in paper, ink, or authorization stamp.
