| Comments |
San Javier, a small municipality in the Region of Murcia, was among hundreds of Spanish towns that issued their own emergency paper scrip during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of 1936–37 effectively sanctioned local currency production to address a catastrophic coin shortage. Hoarding of metal coinage had stripped everyday commerce bare within months of the war's outbreak.
The Gari Mon reference places this firmly within the documented Murcia regional series, though surviving examples from smaller Murcian municipalities are genuinely uncommon — many printings were tiny, and wartime conditions ensured most circulated into destruction.
