| Comments |
Castell de Ferro is a small coastal village in Granada province, and its municipal council — like hundreds of others across Republican-held Spain — issued local emergency currency during the Civil War when central bank notes and metallic coin effectively vanished from everyday trade. These consejo municipal issues were produced under severe material constraints, and Papelería Roste in Almería was one of several provincial stationers pressed into service as an improvised printer.
The Garicoin reference number is incomplete, which typically indicates the note was recorded but not fully catalogued — or that surviving examples are too few to anchor a stable valuation.
