| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, unprinted reverse typical of emergency card-money issued during the Spanish Civil War, with no text, vignette, or decorative elements. Such local vouchers were produced by municipalities, cooperatives, and unions throughout Republican-controlled Spain to alleviate the acute shortage of small-denomination coinage during the conflict. Oropesa (now officially Oropesa del Mar) is located in the province of Castellón, Valencian Community. |

Oropesa is a small coastal municipality in Castellón province, and like hundreds of similarly sized Republican-held towns during the Civil War, it faced a near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage by 1937 — hoarded, melted, or simply absent. The municipal council's solution was to print its own fractional emergency currency, known generically as "billetes locales" or "moneda local de guerra." These circulated only within the issuing municipality and were theoretically redeemable once normal coinage returned, a promise most councils never had to honor.
The square format is a direct consequence of paper economy — cutting square sheets wasted less stock than standard rectangular layouts when working with whatever card materials were locally available.
