1 Peseta Cuevas del Almanzora

Cuevas del Almanzora, a mining town in Almería province, was among hundreds of Republican municipalities that printed emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the withdrawal and hoarding of metallic coinage created a crippling change shortage by mid-1936. These local emisiones — collectively called "billetes de necesidad" — were authorized under Republican decree but produced with wildly varying quality and oversight. Municipal councils were essentially on their own.

The Gari Montllor reference number being unassigned suggests this piece wasn't catalogued in the standard corpus, which may indicate a variant, a late discovery, or simply an item that slipped through regional documentation. Survival rates for these Almería-area issues tend to be low — the province saw sustained Nationalist pressure throughout 1937.
