| Comments |
Ronda was one of hundreds of Spanish municipalities that issued its own fractional paper during the Civil War's opening months, when the Republic's central coinage supply collapsed almost immediately. The Comité de Defensa — the local defense committee — stepped into the gap with emergency notes like this one, a function normally reserved for banks or the state treasury. These committees were typically short-lived governing bodies, their authority lasting only as long as the military situation permitted.
The Gari Mon reference being unlisted suggests this specific denomination or variety escaped systematic cataloguing — not unusual for Ronda, a smaller Andalusian town whose local issues were poorly documented compared to larger Republican municipalities. Surviving examples are genuinely rare.
