Gata de Gorgos is a small municipality in the Marina Alta comarca of Alicante, and like hundreds of similar Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local trade union issued emergency fractional currency when the Republic's small-change supply collapsed entirely in 1936–37. This note was issued by the commerce and office workers' section — a CNT-affiliated body in most Marina Alta towns — not by the municipal government itself, which distinguishes it administratively from the far more common ayuntamiento-issued vales of the same period.
Gari Montaner's catalog reference 703-F places this among the better-documented Alicante provincial emissions, though surviving examples are uncommon given the purely local circulation radius and the chaos of the Nationalist advance into the region by 1939.
