| Comments |
Municipal emergency paper from the Spanish Civil War period, issued by the local council of Molinicos — a small village in the Sierra de Alcaraz, Albacete province. When the Republic's central government could no longer guarantee adequate coin supply to rural municipalities, hundreds of ayuntamientos and consejos across Loyalist-held territory issued their own fractional paper. Molinicos was among the smallest of these issuers, which makes surviving examples genuinely uncommon.
The Gari Molinicos reference remains incomplete, reflecting how thinly documented the smaller Albacete municipal issues are in the standard catalogues.
