Canena is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War period, it issued its own emergency paper fractional currency when coinage effectively vanished from circulation. These hyper-local emisiones municipales were rarely printed in large quantities and circulated within the tightest possible geographic radius — sometimes a single village and its immediate surroundings.
The Gari Monovar catalog remains the primary reference for these Spanish Civil War municipal issues, and Canena's entries are among the more obscure ones. Survival rates for notes from small Jaén-province municipalities tend to be low.
