| Comments |
Reinosa, a small industrial town in Cantabria, issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War, when the Republic's coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply destroyed. Municipalities across Spain filled the gap with locally printed vales and billetes de necesidad, most produced on whatever paper and printing equipment was at hand. Quality varied wildly, and Reinosa's issues were no exception.
The Gari Mon reference is unassigned, placing this among the notes insufficiently documented for a confirmed catalog number — genuinely scarce, or at least rarely traded.
