Dos Torres is a small municipality in the province of Córdoba, Andalusia. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone experienced a near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage — hoarded, melted, or simply absent — forcing hundreds of local councils to issue their own emergency paper. The Consejo Municipal de Dos Torres was one of thousands of local authorities that filled the gap, producing notes that rarely left the village where they were made.
Gari Mon #597-A places this squarely within the documented Andalusian municipal issues, but survival rates for these hyperlocal cartones are low. They were redeemed or discarded the moment normal currency returned, and most issuers produced tiny quantities to begin with.
