Carboneras is a small fishing municipality on the Almería coast, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper money when the Republic's central supply of small coinage collapsed entirely after 1936. These local emissions — collectively known as papel moneda local — were produced under wildly varying conditions, often by local printers with no banknote experience, and their legal standing was always precarious.
The Gari Morancho reference places this within a documented series, but survival rates for Carboneras material are low — the town's small population meant limited print runs, and post-war destruction of "Republican money" was thorough.
