Puebla de Don Fadrique is a small municipality in Granada province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency fractional paper during the Civil War — a direct consequence of the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation after 1936. The Republican government's inability to supply sufficient small-denomination coinage forced local authorities, cooperatives, and even private businesses to fill the gap themselves, with wildly inconsistent results in terms of printing quality and redemption guarantees.
Gari-Monserrat documents this issue under #1187-G, placing it within the broader Andalusian municipal series. Local paper from villages of this size was rarely redeemed in full once hostilities ended.
