Tíjola is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns, its local council issued emergency fractional paper money during the Civil War after metallic coins vanished from circulation almost immediately following the July 1936 uprising. These municipal notes were produced under extreme local constraints — no professional printer, no security features, no standardized design — and the Consejo Municipal simply improvised. The Gari Montaner catalog documents thousands of such emissions, most issued between 1936 and 1938, with survival rates varying wildly depending on how long the issuing municipality remained under Republican control.
Tíjola stayed Republican until the final collapse of the Almería front in early 1939.
