Camarillas is a tiny municipality in the Teruel province of Aragon — population measured in the hundreds even today. Like dozens of similarly small Republican-controlled towns during the Spanish Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency (known as moneda local de necesidad) to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation after 1936. The Nationalist blockade and wartime hoarding had drained copper and silver from Republican territory, forcing municipalities with no banking infrastructure and no formal monetary authority to print their own.
Gari Mon #411A-A suggests limited typological variants were documented for this issuer, which itself signals a very short print run.
