| Comments |
Serón is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns, its local council issued fractional paper currency during the Civil War years after Republican-zone silver and bronze coinage effectively vanished from circulation. These Consejo Municipal emergency notes were produced under desperate conditions — often on whatever paper and printing equipment the town had available — and most circulated hard within a very limited geographic radius before being rendered worthless.
The Gari Morera reference is unassigned, which typically indicates the note is either unrecorded in the standard Catalan corpus or was documented too late for inclusion. Either way, surviving examples from Serón are genuinely scarce.
