Bujalance is a small olive-growing town in the province of Córdoba, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its local Frente Popular committee printed its own fractional currency when coin shortages made small transactions nearly impossible. These emergency issues — collectively called "billetes locales" or "moneda municipal" — filled a vacuum created by hoarding and requisitioning of metallic coinage from roughly mid-1936 onward.
The Gari Mon reference places this squarely within the documented Andalusian local emissions, though survival rates for Bujalance material are low. Committee-issued notes from towns this size were rarely printed in large quantities, and redemption after the Nationalist takeover of Córdoba province was neither guaranteed nor systematic.
