| Comments |
Formentera del Segura is a small municipality in the Vega Baja del Segura, Alicante province — Republican territory throughout the Civil War. Like hundreds of other Spanish ayuntamientos cut off from reliable coin supply after 1936, the town council authorized its own emergency fractional currency. These local issues, collectively known as moneda municipal, were produced under no central oversight and varied wildly in print quality and legal standing.
The Gari Mon reference places this within the documented corpus, but Vega Baja issues from minor municipalities are consistently underrepresented in surviving collections. The countersignatures of the alcalde and the depositario were the only validation these notes carried.
