Fuente En-Segures — now known as Fuente la Reina — is a tiny municipality in the Castellón interior, and this note is a product of the fractured monetary reality of the Republican zone during the Civil War. With small-denomination coinage hoarded or melted, hundreds of Spanish towns, companies, and cooperatives printed their own emergency paper. La Hispano de Fuente En-Segures, S.A. was almost certainly a local industrial or agricultural enterprise pressed into issuing fiduciary scrip simply to keep wages and small transactions moving.
The Gari Mon reference is unassigned, suggesting the cataloger encountered it but couldn't confirm enough details to finalize the entry. Survival rate for hyper-local issues from this period is unpredictable — small print runs, wartime disruption, and post-war suppression of Republican-era material all took their toll.
