Quesada is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own fractional emergency notes during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of late 1936 authorized local councils to produce small-denomination paper to relieve the near-total disappearance of metallic coin from circulation. These consejo municipal issues were produced locally, often without professional printers, and the quality varied enormously.
The official stamp is the only real security feature — and in practice, a thin one. Forgeries of local war issues were not unknown, though for 50 céntimos the economic motive was limited.
