Lubrín is a small municipality in the Sierra de los Filabres range of Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper money when the national currency supply collapsed in the Republican zone after 1936. These hyper-local emissions — often printed on whatever stock was available and authenticated by a rubber stamp from the town hall or local committee — were purely functional, circulating only within the issuing municipality and sometimes not even beyond a few streets.
The Gari reference number is unassigned, which typically means the cataloger encountered the type but could not fully document it, or the note was recorded after the main catalog run closed.
