Puertollano, a mining town in Ciudad Real province, issued its own fractional paper money during the Spanish Civil War when the Republic's central government could not maintain adequate small-change supply. Municipal and local entity issues of this kind — collectively catalogued under the Guerra Civil emergency series — were a widespread response to the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from circulation after 1936, as copper and silver were hoarded or requisitioned. The Ayuntamiento issues from this region remain among the more difficult to attribute precisely, given the volume of similar local emissions and incomplete municipal records from the period.
