San Carlos del Valle is a small municipality in Ciudad Real province, Castilla-La Mancha, and its wartime local issue is one of hundreds of emergency necessity notes produced during the Spanish Civil War when the Republican government's decree of 1936 authorized municipal councils to print their own fractional currency to combat the acute shortage of small coin. The Consejo Municipal issues from this village are among the more obscure entries in the Gari catalogue, reflecting genuinely limited print runs for a community of very modest size.
Gari Mon#1301-C designation suggests multiple emission variants exist for this issuer — worth cross-referencing against the full 1301 sequence before attributing condition or rarity.
