Sella is a small municipality in the Alicante province of Valencia, and like hundreds of similar villages across Republican Spain, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during 1937 when the central government's coin supply effectively collapsed under wartime conditions. These consejo municipal notes were purely local instruments — often accepted only within the village itself and worthless a few kilometers away.
The Gari catalog reference is incomplete, which is not unusual for notes from minor Valencian municipalities; many were issued in tiny quantities, poorly documented, and survive in only a handful of known examples.
