0.25 Pesetas Reinosa

Reinosa is a small industrial town in Cantabria, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities it resorted to locally issued fractional notes during the acute coin shortage that followed the 1936 military uprising. The central government had effectively lost control of the small-change supply, forcing ayuntamientos across Republican-held territory to fill the gap themselves — often with nothing more than a rubber stamp, a typeface, and whatever paper was at hand.

The Gari Mon reference places this squarely in that emergency municipal emission category. Survival rates for these tiny Cantabrian issues are low; most circulated hard in working-class communities and few were ever preserved.
