Emergency local paper issued by the Ayuntamiento de Pacheco — a municipality in the Province of Murcia — during the Spanish Civil War currency crisis of 1936–1939, when the Republican zone suffered an acute shortage of small-denomination coinage. Hundreds of Spanish municipalities, unable to obtain fractional currency through official channels, resorted to printing their own emergency scrip. Most were produced in tiny quantities on whatever materials were at hand, with minimal security features.
The Gari Mon catalogue remains the primary reference for this class of Spanish local emergency issues. Survival rates for individual municipal pieces vary enormously; many were never formally redeemed.
