Bullas is a small wine-producing municipality in the Murcia region, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's small-denomination coins disappeared from circulation almost entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply lost to the chaos of 1936. These local issues, collectively called moneda local or billetes de necesidad, were authorized under Republican decree but designed and printed by whatever means the ayuntamiento could arrange locally.
Gari Mon#372-F suggests this is among the documented variants for Bullas, a cataloguing distinction that typically reflects differences in serial numbering, signature, or paper stock rather than separate issue dates.
