| Comments |
Cortes de Baza is a small municipality in Granada province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its council resorted to issuing emergency fractional paper when coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely after 1936. The Republican government's decree permitting local authorities to issue small-denomination notes legitimized the practice but could not standardize it — what survives from these municipal emissions is often unique or nearly so, with print runs that were never recorded and distributions confined to a single village's daily commerce.
The Gari Monumentos reference remains unassigned, which is not unusual for Cortes de Baza; many minor Granada province emissions weren't formally catalogued until decades after the war, and some are still being documented from surviving hoards.
