Mora de Rubielos is a small walled town in Teruel province, Aragon. This note is a product of the acute small-change shortage that paralyzed Republican-controlled Spain almost immediately after the July 1936 military uprising — copper and silver coinage vanished from circulation within weeks as hoarding took hold, forcing hundreds of municipalities, trade unions, and local cooperatives to print their own emergency fractional currency. The Consejo Municipal issues from inland Aragonese towns are among the most locally idiosyncratic of the entire Civil War period.
The Gari Mon reference places this within a documented but thinly catalogued series. Survival rates for these card-stock municipals from rural Teruel are low — the province saw some of the war's most destructive front-line fighting in 1937–38.
