Álora is a small municipality in Málaga province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns, it issued its own emergency small-change notes during the Civil War years when coin metal disappeared from circulation almost entirely. These local emissions — collectively catalogued under the wartime moneda local umbrella — were produced under improvised conditions, often on whatever card stock the local administration had to hand, with no central oversight of design or printing quality.
The Gari reference number is unassigned, suggesting this piece remains poorly documented in the standard literature. That alone makes it worth noting carefully.
