Bullas is a small municipality in Murcia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper currency when coinage effectively vanished from circulation in 1936–37. These local "Guerra Civil" notes were authorised under Republican decree and produced under whatever printing resources the town could access — typically a local press, often with rudimentary typography and crude serial numbering.
The Gari Montllor catalogue remains the authoritative reference for this material. Condition on surviving Bullas notes varies sharply; the paper quality was poor to begin with.
