| Comments |
Adra is a small coastal municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republic's central supply of coinage collapsed in 1936–37. These municipal issues — collectively catalogued under the billetes locales or papel moneda local category — were almost always produced locally on whatever paper stock was available, which accounts for the extraordinary variation in quality and survival rates across the series.
The Gari Monar reference number being absent here suggests the piece is either unverified within that catalogue or awaiting formal attribution — not unusual for the smaller Andalusian issues, where documentation remains incomplete.
