Jamilena is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and like hundreds of Spanish townships it resorted to locally printed fractional emergency notes during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of 1936 effectively collapsed the supply of small-denomination coinage. These ayuntamiento-issued pieces — often printed on whatever card stock was available — were strictly local instruments, accepted only within the issuing municipality and frequently repudiated the moment political control of a town changed hands.
The Gari Mon reference is unassigned, which typically indicates the cataloger recorded the type without locating a confirmed example at time of publication. Surviving pieces from minor Jaén municipalities are genuinely uncommon.
