Comments

Bullas is a small municipality in the Murcia region of southeastern Spain. Notes like this one were issued during the Spanish Civil War (1936–39), when the collapse of small-denomination coinage circulation forced hundreds of towns and villages to print their own emergency paper currency — locally known as moneda local or papel moneda municipal. The Gari Montllor catalog remains the primary reference for this sprawling, poorly documented series.

Regional emergency issues from smaller Murcian towns survive in genuinely limited quantities, many having been redeemed or simply discarded after the war ended.
