The issuing authority's name occupies the upper right in large gothic and roman lettering, separated from the redemption clause below by a ruled line; a handwritten signature of the Depositario appears across the centre, accompanied by a small hand-drawn flourish. The printer's imprint 'Papelería Lacoste-Almería' is typeset along the lower margin. |

| Comments |
Castell de Ferro is a small coastal settlement in Granada province, and its municipal council — like hundreds of others across Republican Spain — issued emergency small change notes during the first months of the Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation. The Gari Mon reference is unassigned, which typically means the cataloger was aware of the note's existence but lacked a confirmed physical example at time of publication.
Papelería Lacoste in Almería supplied printing services to several Andalusian municipalities during this period. The practical reach of these notes rarely extended beyond the issuing town.
