Confrides is a tiny mountain village in the comarca of El Comtat, Alicante, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s. Like dozens of similarly small Valencian municipalities, its town council issued emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from everyday commerce — silver and copper hoarded, melted, or simply gone.
The absence of a confirmed Gari Monagas reference number suggests surviving examples have been documented only sporadically, making precise attribution difficult. Issues from villages this small were typically produced in very limited print runs, often locally on whatever paper was available.
