García was a small municipality in the province of Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese villages in the anarchist-controlled zones during the Spanish Civil War, it briefly operated a collectivized local economy under CNT-FAI administration. These worker collectives issued their own scrip — technically bonos — to replace Republican pesetas that had largely disappeared from circulation as hoarding and wartime disruption drained hard currency from rural areas.
The AL reference (Allepuz catalog) is the primary authority for this material. Many of these village emissions were produced in tiny print runs, sometimes by local print shops with minimal equipment, which accounts for the typographic crudeness common across the series.
