Villamanrique — a small municipality in Seville province — was one of hundreds of Republican-controlled towns that issued emergency small-change notes during the Civil War after metallic coin essentially vanished from circulation in 1936–37. The Consejo Municipal had no printing infrastructure worth speaking of; these were produced locally, almost certainly on whatever card stock or heavy paper was available, which accounts for the variation in substrate thickness collectors encounter across surviving examples.
At 53 × 35 mm, this is among the smallest physical formats in the Andalusian municipal series. The Gari Montaner catalogue reference places it firmly within the documented Sevillian issues, though surviving quantities remain low.
