Comments

Jabalquinto is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia. Like hundreds of similar towns across Republican-held Spain, it issued its own fractional emergency currency during the Civil War after the withdrawal of metal coinage from circulation created an acute shortage of small change. These hyper-local emissions — often printed on whatever card stock was available — were never formally catalogued by the Banco de España and circulated only within the issuing municipality itself.

The Gari Mon reference is incomplete, which likely means documentation on this specific emission remains thin.
