Los Gallardos is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of similarly sized Spanish towns, its municipal council issued emergency fractional paper during the Civil War to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation. The Republican government had endorsed local emergency currency from mid-1936 onward, which produced an extraordinary proliferation of hyper-local issues — some towns printing notes in quantities that numbered only in the hundreds.
Gari Mon catalogues this as 693-A, implying at least one variant exists. For a village of this size, any surviving example is genuinely uncommon.
