Ibros is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and like hundreds of similar towns across Spain it resorted to issuing its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War years of 1936–1939. The national coinage shortage — silver and copper hoarded or melted almost immediately after the conflict began — forced local councils to print or stamp whatever they could to keep small transactions moving.
Gari Mon #779-A places this squarely within the documented Andalusian municipal emergency issues. Town council cartones and vales of this type were typically redeemed (or simply abandoned) once Nationalist administration consolidated control of the region, and survival rates for rural Jaén issues are generally low.
