| Additional information |
Valverde del Júcar is a small municipality in the Serranía de Cuenca, and like hundreds of similarly isolated Republican-controlled towns during the Civil War, it faced an acute shortage of small-denomination metallic coinage by 1937 — silver and copper having been hoarded, melted, or simply drained away by wartime disruption. The municipal council's solution was cartón moneda: emergency currency printed on cardboard. These local issues had no backing beyond the issuing authority's word and rarely circulated beyond the town limits.
The absence of a confirmed Gari catalogue number suggests this piece remains poorly documented in the specialist literature on Spanish Civil War emergency issues.
