Puebla de Don Fadrique is a small municipality in Granada province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued emergency fractional currency — moneda local — during the Civil War years when coinage vanished from circulation almost entirely. This 2003 piece is a modern facsimile of that wartime scrip, produced by the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre in Madrid, almost certainly for a local commemorative or cultural occasion rather than any circulating purpose.
The FNMT's involvement lends the replica an ironic official weight its wartime original never had.
