Darro is a small municipality in Granada province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency paper fractional currency during the Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation in 1936. These local issues — collectively termed moneda local de urgencia — were typically produced in very small runs, often on whatever paper was locally available, by town councils with no printing infrastructure of their own. Documentation is sparse for most of them, and Gari-Montaner, the standard reference for Spanish Civil War local issues, could not assign a catalog number to this piece.
The absence of a Gari number is itself meaningful — it suggests either extreme rarity or an issue whose authenticity or official status remains unresolved.
