Benalúa de Guadix is a small municipality in the Granada province of Andalusia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War period, its municipal council issued fractional paper currency to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation after 1936. These local emergency emissions — collectively known as papel moneda local — were produced under wildly varying conditions, often on whatever paper and printing equipment was available in the town.
The Gari Monerris catalogue remains the principal reference for Andalusian municipal issues, and the 276-D designation places this within a documented subseries, though survivorship among Benalúa issues is low given the town's size and the chaos of the war's aftermath in Granada province.
