Lubrín is a small municipality in the Sierra de los Filabres, Almería province. Like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own small-denomination paper currency in 1936–37 to address the immediate collapse of metallic coin circulation — copper and silver hoarded or melted almost overnight after the July 1936 uprising. These municipal emergency emissions were produced under wildly varying conditions: some by local printers, some by typesetters with no banknote experience, and a few apparently by hand.
The Gari Mon reference is unassigned, which typically means the piece was documented too late for full catalog numbering or remains poorly attested in surviving collections.
