| Reverse description | Plain paper field bearing a block of green letterpress text centered on the note, setting out the conditions of validity and exchange.

| Comments |
Beas de Segura is a small municipality in Jaén province, Andalusia, and this note belongs to the vast wave of locally-issued emergency fractional currency — moneda local de necesidad — that flooded Republican-held Spain after the military rising of July 1936 disrupted coin circulation almost overnight. The Consejo Municipal had no formal banking apparatus; these were produced under improvised conditions, often by local printers with whatever materials were available, and circulated purely within the town's economy.
Gari Mon#243-C indicates a distinct variety within the Beas de Segura issues — collectors should verify the specific differentiating feature against the Gari catalogue before attribution.
