Noguerones is a small rural settlement in the municipality of Alcaudete, Jaén province. This note was issued by the local alcaldía — the village mayoralty — almost certainly during the Spanish Civil War, when the collapse of small-denomination coinage forced hundreds of municipalities, cooperatives, and even individual businesses to print their own emergency scrip. The Consejo de Ministros formally authorized local emergency currency in 1937, but many issues preceded or ignored that framework entirely.
The thick card stock construction is typical of rural Andalusian issuers who lacked access to proper banknote paper and relied on whatever was locally available.
