Noalejo is a small municipality in Jaén province, Andalusia, and this fractional note is one of hundreds of hyperlocal emergency issues that flooded Republican-held Spain during the Civil War after the Republic's silver and bronze coinage disappeared from circulation almost overnight in 1936. With the central government unable to supply small change to every village, local committees — including Frentes Populares like this one — printed their own.
At 59 × 41 mm on card stock, this is effectively a chit, not a banknote in any traditional sense. The Gari catalogue remains the primary reference for these municipales, and even there documentation is fragmentary — survival rates for issues from villages of this size are extremely low.
