Noblejas is a small municipality in the Toledo province of Castile-La Mancha, and like hundreds of similar councils across Republican Spain, it resorted to locally printed fractional notes during the Civil War when coin shortages became acute — particularly after 1936, when copper and silver were hoarded or melted down. The Consejo Municipal issues were purely utilitarian emergency scrip, typically printed in very small runs and circulated only within the issuing township.
The Gari Mon reference places this squarely within the documented Spanish Civil War local emission series. Survival rates for these municipal pieces are uneven — some townships printed so few that any example is a rarity, while others flooded local commerce and turn up regularly.
