1 Peseta Puente de Génave

Puente de Génave is a small municipality in the Sierra de Segura, Jaén province, and this note belongs to the vast wave of locally issued emergency paper produced across Republican Spain during 1936–1937, when the removal of coin from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply lost to the chaos of early war — left ordinary commerce without small change. Hundreds of Spanish municipalities, cooperatives, and even individual businesses filled the gap with their own printed or handwritten scrip, most of it never formally sanctioned by any central authority.

The Gari Mon catalogue reference places this firmly within that documented corpus, but Puente de Génave's output was small enough that surviving examples are genuinely uncommon.
