Fiñana is a small municipality in the province of Almería, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued its own emergency paper money when coinage disappeared from circulation almost entirely after 1936. These consejo municipal notes were produced under genuinely improvised conditions — local printing shops, rubber stamps, handwritten serial numbers — and the Fiñana issues are no exception to that pattern.
The Gari Montllor reference is incomplete, which typically means the cataloger encountered the note but lacked sufficient specimen data to assign a full listing. Survival rates for small Andalusian municipal issues are low; most were redeemed or destroyed, and those that weren't were simply lost.
