Noalejo is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia. This note belongs to the vast category of Spanish Civil War emergency municipal issues — locally produced fractional currency that proliferated across Republican-held towns from 1936 onward when coin hoarding caused severe small-change shortages. The Consejo Municipal replaced the pre-war Ayuntamiento structure in Republican zones, so the issuing authority itself is a political artifact of the war.
At this size and on card stock, these pieces were essentially printed chits. The official stamp was the only meaningful authentication — the difference between legal tender and forgery in a town of a few hundred people came down to a single ink impression.
