1 Peseta Dosbarrios

Dosbarrios is a small municipality in the province of Toledo, and this note is a product of the Spanish Civil War's fractured monetary reality. When the Republic's central supply of small change collapsed after 1936, hundreds of local councils — ayuntamientos, cooperatives, even individual businesses — filled the vacuum with their own emergency fractional paper. The Consejo Municipal authorized these issues to keep local commerce moving when coins had been hoarded, melted, or simply stopped arriving.

Printing at the Imprenta Provincial in nearby Ocaña kept production costs and logistics manageable for a village council with no banking infrastructure. Gari Mon catalogues this as 597A-A, suggesting at least one variant exists within the type.
