Turón, a coal-mining town in the Nalón river valley of Asturias, issued local emergency currency during the Spanish Civil War when the Republican zone faced acute small-change shortages. Municipal and cooperative bodies across the region filled the gap with paper fractional notes, many authorised only at the local level and worthless beyond a few kilometres.
The Gari Montaner reference places this firmly within that documented Asturian municipal series. Hand-signed examples with intact official stamps are the baseline for authenticity here — both features were applied individually at issuance, and the combination of faded stamp ink with a clean signature (or vice versa) is worth examining closely on any example.
