Rus is a small municipality in Jaén province, Castilla-La Mancha, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it resorted to issuing its own fractional emergency currency during the Civil War years when Republican-zone coinage virtually disappeared from circulation. These locally-issued vales, known collectively as papel moneda local, were produced under municipal authority with minimal oversight and wildly varying print quality — a thick card stock like this was a practical choice, offering at least some resistance to the wear of daily market use.
The Gari Moreno catalogue is the primary reference for this material, and the C suffix within the 1284 grouping indicates a distinct type variant, likely differing in color, serial format, or stamp impression from the A and B listings.
