Mecina Bombarón is a small village in the Alpujarras region of Granada province, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its town council issued emergency fractional currency when coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely after July 1936. These consejo municipal notes were purely local instruments — accepted in the issuing village and essentially nowhere else.
The Gari Montaner catalog lists many such emissions but leaves this one without a full reference number, suggesting documentation remains incomplete. Physical survivors from villages this small are genuinely rare; most were redeemed, lost, or destroyed before any serious collecting infrastructure existed.
