| Comments |
Beniardá is a village in the Marina Baixa comarca of Alicante province, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s. Like dozens of similarly small Republican municipalities during the Civil War, the Consejo Municipal issued emergency fractional notes to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation — silver hoarded, copper requisitioned. The Gari Monetary catalogue acknowledges the series but carries no assigned number, suggesting documentation remains incomplete.
These hyper-local Valencian emissions are among the most poorly documented of the war period. Survival is essentially accidental.
