Felix is a small municipality in the Almería province of Andalusia, and like hundreds of similarly sized Spanish towns, its local council was forced to issue emergency fractional paper currency during the Civil War after metallic coin largely vanished from circulation by mid-1936. The Consejo Municipal issues of this type were purely local instruments — accepted only within the immediate area and backed by nothing more substantial than the issuing body's authority.
The Gari Monetario reference places this among the documented Andalusian municipal emissions, though surviving examples from Felix are genuinely uncommon given the town's small population and the ad hoc nature of the printing.
