| Aanvullende informatie |
Guadalcanal, a small municipality in the Sierra Norte of Seville, issued cardboard emergency money in 1937 as Republican Spain's coinage system collapsed under wartime disruption. Small change had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent — forcing hundreds of individual towns and villages to print or stamp their own local fractional currency. These cartones were legal only within the issuing municipality and worthless the moment the front lines moved.
Guadalcanal fell to Nationalist forces in mid-1936, which raises genuine questions about the political authority behind this 1937 dating.
