Cullera is a coastal municipality in Valencia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued emergency small change (moneda local) to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation. The Republican government had authorized these local emissions from 1936 onward, but production quality and survival rates varied wildly depending on whether the issuing body had access to proper printing equipment — most did not.
Locally printed examples from towns this size typically show crude typography and thin paper stock prone to tearing, which accounts for the scarcity of well-preserved survivors from the Cullera series.
