| Obverse description | Letterpress-printed provisional voucher with violet text on a green underprint, bordered by a floral and dotted guilloche frame. The coat of arms of the Spanish Republic appears to the left, with the denomination and issuing authority inscribed in the central field. The overall layout is typical of wartime emergency municipal issues, with minimal vignette work and utilitarian typography. |

Bayarque is a village in the Sierra de los Filabres, Almería, with a population that barely reached three figures during the 1930s. That a municipal council this small issued its own emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War is unremarkable in itself — hundreds of Spanish municipalities did the same after the July 1936 coup disrupted coin supplies — but Bayarque's issues are among the most obscure in the entire Gari Montaner corpus, with surviving examples extremely rare simply due to the tiny scale of the local economy that absorbed them.
