Colomera is a small municipality in the province of Granada, and like hundreds of other Spanish Republican-controlled towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency currency when coinage effectively disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable. These local issues, known as moneda local de necesidad, were authorized under Republican decree and produced under whatever printing resources were locally accessible.
This piece was printed in Jaén by Imprenta Cruz, a commercial press that produced several similar municipal issues for towns in the region. The Gari Montllor census documents this as type 550-A, implying at least one variant exists within the Colomera series.
