Corral-Rubio is a small municipality in the province of Albacete, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it resorted to locally printed fractional notes during the Civil War to compensate for the near-total disappearance of small coinage from circulation after 1936. The Consejo Municipal — the Republican-administered local council — had the authority to authorize these emergency issues, though the legal framework governing them was improvised and inconsistently enforced across the region.
Printed by Collado in Albacete, the nearest city with adequate facilities. Provincial municipal issues of this type survive in wildly uneven quantities — some towns printed thousands, others a few hundred — and Corral-Rubio's total output is not documented in the standard references.
