Fuenlabrada de los Montes is a small rural municipality in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura — deep in Republican-held territory during much of the Spanish Civil War. Like hundreds of other isolated towns cut off from normal banking channels during 1936–1937, the local ayuntamiento issued its own emergency fractional notes to keep commerce moving when coin and certified currency dried up. These municipal emisiones de guerra were technically illegal under standing monetary law but tolerated by the Republican government out of sheer necessity.
The Gari Montalvo catalogue remains the primary reference for Spanish Civil War local issues; the "A" suffix on 678 typically indicates a primary variant within a type.
