Solana del Pino is a small municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha. Like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency paper when metallic coin vanished from circulation after 1936 — hoarded, melted, or simply disrupted by the collapse of normal commerce. These municipally issued vales or cartones are among the most poorly documented of all Spanish Civil War emissions; the Gari catalogue reference here is incomplete, which is itself telling.
Thick card stock was the practical choice for low-denomination local scrip — it survived handling better than thin paper and was harder to counterfeit with the means available in a rural town.
