Bédar is a small mining village in the Sierra de Almagrera range of Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper when coin disappeared from circulation almost overnight in 1936–37. These local issues — collectively catalogued under the broader billetes locales phenomenon — were authorised under Republican decree but produced entirely with whatever printing resources the municipality had on hand, which usually meant rudimentary typography and thin stock.
The Gari reference number is unassigned, suggesting this piece remains incompletely documented in the standard corpus.
