Píñar is a small municipality in the province of Granada, and like hundreds of Spanish towns, it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War when small change evaporated from circulation almost overnight after July 1936. These municipal notes — called "billetes de necesidad" — were a purely local fix to a national problem, and the Consejo Municipal's authority to issue them was tenuous at best, technically sanctioned by the Republican government but varying wildly in execution from town to town.
The Gari Montllor reference number is unassigned, suggesting this piece either hadn't been catalogued at time of publication or remains incompletely documented — worth noting for any specialist working the Granada provincial issues.
