Serón is a small inland municipality in Almería province, and this note is a product of the chaotic early months of the Spanish Civil War, when the Republican government's decree of August 1936 authorized local councils to issue emergency fractional currency to combat the disappearance of coin from circulation. The Consejo Municipal de Serón — like hundreds of similar bodies across Republican-held Spain — printed its own scrip simply to keep local commerce functioning.
Gari Mon catalogues two variants for this issuer; this is the B type. Provincial emergency issues from Almería are notoriously underrepresented in collections outside Spain.
