Diezma is a small municipality in Granada province, and like hundreds of other Spanish villages during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone small change collapsed entirely in 1936–37. These hyper-local emissions — often produced on whatever paper was available, sometimes with a rubber stamp as the sole authentication — are among the most fragile surviving documents of that monetary breakdown. Many were printed in runs of a few hundred, used briefly, and redeemed or simply discarded.
The Gari catalog reference is incomplete, suggesting this emission remains inadequately documented. Attribution to Diezma rather than a neighboring municipality rests on the council's name as printed.
