Cazorla is a small Andalusian town in Jaén province, and its wartime scrip issues came from an unusual source: a commerce workers' mutual aid association rather than the local ayuntamiento or a militia committee. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone suffered a severe shortage of fractional coinage almost immediately after July 1936, forcing hundreds of organizations — many with no monetary authority whatsoever — to print emergency paper. The Asociación de Dependientes de Comercio was precisely the kind of body that would never have issued currency under any other circumstances.
The Gari Montaner reference is unassigned, which suggests this piece either escaped systematic cataloguing or survives in very small numbers.
