Casasimarro is a small municipality in the province of Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it resorted to locally issued fractional paper during the Civil War after the withdrawal of metallic coinage from circulation in 1936. These municipal emergency notes — known collectively as billetes locales or moneda local — were produced under wildly varying conditions, sometimes by local printers with no banknote experience, sometimes typed or even handwritten.
The incomplete Gari reference suggests this piece has not been fully catalogued, which is not unusual for Cuenca province issues — documentation remains patchy for smaller Republican-zone municipalities.
