| Comments |
Murla is a village in the Marina Alta comarca of Valencia with a population that barely reached 500 during the 1930s. That a settlement this small issued its own paper money is less surprising than it sounds — the Spanish Civil War collapsed the national coin supply almost immediately after July 1936, and hundreds of Valencian municipalities filled the gap with locally printed billetes de necesidad. The Republican government tolerated, then formally authorized, these issues as a stopgap.
Gari Mon#984-A is among the more elusive of the Marina Alta municipal issues, which as a group suffer significant attrition — most were redeemed, cancelled, or simply discarded once Nationalist forces took the region in 1938.
