Jamilena is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and like hundreds of other Spanish towns it resorted to locally issued fractional notes during the acute coin shortage of the Civil War years, roughly 1936–1939. The central Republican government never adequately supplied small-denomination coinage to the provinces, forcing ayuntamientos to improvise their own emergency scrip — legal within their own municipality, worthless anywhere else.
The Gari Mon reference being unassigned suggests this piece has not been formally catalogued in that corpus, which is not unusual for the smaller Jaén municipalities where surviving examples surface rarely and documentation remains incomplete.
