Guarromán is a small municipality in Jaén province, Andalusia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency fractional paper during the Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation in 1936. These local ayuntamiento issues were stopgap instruments, often printed on whatever stock was available, authorized by no central authority, and accepted only within the issuing locality.
The Gari Mon reference places this within the documented Andalusian municipal series, but Guarromán issues are thinly represented in major collections — survival rates for small-town Spanish Civil War fracciones are low, partly due to the chaos of the postwar period and the lack of any formal redemption mechanism for Republican-zone municipal paper.
