Colomera is a small municipality in the province of Granada, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican-held Spain, its council issued emergency fractional paper in 1936–37 to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coin from circulation. Silver and copper were hoarded or melted almost immediately after the July 1936 uprising, leaving local commerce effectively paralyzed. Municipal councils stepped in because no central authority could respond quickly enough.
The Gari Mon reference is incomplete, suggesting this piece was either unrecorded or only recently catalogued. Colomera issues are rarely encountered, and the rubber stamp authentication — typical for these emergency municipales — was the council's only available security measure.
