Colomera is a small municipality in Granada province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone commerce ground to a halt after July 1936. Centimos and small peseta denominations in metal coinage had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply gone — leaving local councils to fill the gap with whatever paper their ayuntamiento could print or stamp.
The Gari Montaner reference remains unassigned, suggesting this piece either escaped systematic documentation or survives in very limited numbers. Small-town Guerra Civil locals from Granada province are consistently underrepresented in major collections.
