| Comments |
Ferreira, a small municipality in Almería province, was among the hundreds of Spanish local authorities that issued emergency paper fractional currency during the Civil War after metallic coinage vanished from circulation almost overnight in mid-1936. The Consejo Municipal stepped in because the Republican central government could not supply sufficient small change fast enough — a problem that plagued the loyalist zone throughout the conflict.
Gari Mon 642-B designates a variety distinction within the Ferreira emission, likely a color, paper, or overprint difference from the primary type. Provincial Spanish Civil War locals are frequently misattributed or merged in collections; the Garrido Martín/Garrido Mora catalogue remains the essential reference for separating genuine varieties from later reprints.
