| Comments |
Cazorla is a small town in the Sierra de Cazorla, Jaén province, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities it issued its own emergency small change during the Civil War years after metallic coins effectively vanished from circulation. Notes issued by local merchant or worker associations — rather than the ayuntamiento itself — are among the least systematically catalogued of the entire Spanish emergency emission phenomenon. The Asociación de Dependientes de Comercio was a shopworkers' union-type body, and its authority to issue circulating paper was entirely local and informal.
The Gari Morera reference being incomplete signals how thinly documented this specific emission remains.
