Lillo is a small municipality in the Toledo province of Castile-La Mancha, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued fractional paper currency in 1936–37 to offset the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation. The Republican government's inability to maintain a functioning small-change supply pushed this responsibility onto local bodies with no printing infrastructure — most of these notes were produced by local printers, sometimes on whatever paper stock was available.
Gari Mon #823-C suggests a variant within the Lillo issue, likely a color or serial differentiation. Provincial municipal issues of this type are systematically underresearched.
