One of hundreds of emergency municipal issues printed across Republican Spain during the Civil War, when the flight of hard currency and hoarded coinage created an acute need for small-denomination substitutes. Gandía, a coastal town in Valencia province, issued its own local scrip through the Consejo Municipal — a common arrangement in the Republican zone, where authority to produce emergency money devolved rapidly to local bodies after 1936.
The dual catalog reference to both Garicano's monument and Turró's regional Valencia-focused corpus is typical for these Valencian issues, which were documented separately by regional specialists before being absorbed into broader national surveys.
