Comments

Bullas is a small municipality in the Murcia region of southeastern Spain, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War years of 1936–1939, when the Republic's central coinage supply collapsed and local commerce ground to a halt without small-denomination currency. These municipal emissions — collectively catalogued under the broader Spanish Civil War emergency issues — were produced with whatever printing resources existed locally, which accounts for the rough typographic execution common across the series.

Gari Mon#372-C indicates a variant within the Bullas emission, suggesting at least minor printing or authorization differences from sibling issues in the same municipal run.
