Jalance is a small municipality in Valencia province, and like hundreds of similarly sized Spanish towns, it issued its own fractional emergency currency during the Civil War after the Republic's central supply of small change collapsed entirely. The Consejo Municipal — the local governing council, by 1937 typically under anarchist or left-republican control in this region — printed these notes locally to keep retail transactions functioning when coins had been hoarded out of circulation.
At 65 × 45 mm on card stock, this is among the smaller-format pieces in the Valencian municipal series. Survival rates for Jalance issues are low; the town's wartime records are fragmentary, and the total print run for this denomination has never been established.
