Abenójar is a small municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, and like hundreds of Castilian-Manchegan towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency when Republican Spain's coin supply effectively collapsed in 1936–37. The hoarding of metallic coinage — driven by wartime uncertainty and the silver content of pre-war pieces — forced municipalities down to the village level to print or stamp their own provisional notes.
The Gari Mon reference being incomplete suggests this piece hasn't been formally catalogued in that corpus, which itself is telling. Many Abenójar municipals survive in tiny quantities, and attribution work on this series remains unfinished.
