Segura de la Sierra is a small hilltop municipality in Jaén province, Andalusia — the kind of place that issued emergency fractional paper money during the Spanish Civil War because Republican-zone coinage had effectively vanished from circulation by 1936–37. Copper and silver were being hoarded or melted, and the central government couldn't supply small change fast enough to keep local economies functioning. Hundreds of Spanish municipalities printed their own notes under these conditions, with varying degrees of official sanction.
The Garrido Monet reference places this firmly within the documented corpus of locally-issued Spanish Civil War necessity money, but Segura de la Sierra examples are not commonly encountered.
