Guadix, a small city in Granada province, remained under Republican control during the early phase of the Civil War despite its proximity to Nationalist-held territory. Municipal and local bodies across the Republican zone issued their own emergency fractional currency from 1936 onward — the central government had effectively lost control of small-denomination coin supply, which had been hoarded almost immediately after the July 1936 uprising. The Consejo Municipal Administrativo was the wartime administrative body, the civilian council restructured under Republican emergency governance.
Local Civil War issues from small Andalusian municipalities are among the most difficult to find in any condition. Guadix fell to Nationalist forces in early April 1939, and surviving Republican currency would have been worthless and actively suppressed immediately after.
