| Comments |
Abla is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency when coin shortages made small transactions impossible. The Republican government's failure to maintain adequate coinage supply in 1936–37 forced municipalities across loyalist territory to paper over the gap with locally authorized notes — often printed on whatever stock was available, signed by the alcalde, and accepted purely on community trust rather than any formal banking mechanism.
The Garicano Monet reference is unassigned, suggesting this piece was either documented too late for inclusion or remains insufficiently confirmed in the major census of Spanish Civil War municipal issues.
