Colomera is a small municipality in the province of Granada, and like hundreds of other Spanish towns it issued emergency paper scrip during the Civil War years when metallic coin effectively vanished from everyday trade. These local municipal notes — known as "moneda local de necesidad" — were produced under improvised conditions, often with little more than a rubber stamp and whatever paper was to hand. The Gari Montserrat catalogue documents enormous variation in quality across this class of issue, and survivability correlates directly with how actively the town functioned as a circulation point during the conflict.
