Pechina is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it resorted to issuing its own emergency fractional currency when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed in 1937. These local emissions — collectively catalogued under the guerra civil municipal issues — were rarely printed by professional firms. Most were produced on whatever press or typewriter was available locally, often rubber-stamped by the town council to confer official status.
The Gari Mon reference places this squarely in the documented Andalusian municipal series, but survival rates for Pechina issues are poorly tracked. Small-town wartime paper was discarded freely once the conflict ended.
