Gádor is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's central supply of coins and small change collapsed. These local emissions — collectively catalogued under the Guerra Civil municipal issues — were stop-gap instruments, authorized loosely by the Republican government and produced with whatever printing resources a town could access. Quality varied enormously from one municipality to the next.
Gari Mon #689-C is among the scarcer Almería provincial issues, reflecting Gádor's small population and limited circulation pool.
