Comments

Palau Sabardera is a small municipality in the Alt Empordà comarca of Catalonia, and this note is among the most obscure products of the 1936–37 Spanish Civil War paper money phenomenon — the avalanche of locally issued emergency scrip that flooded Catalonia when the Republic's central banking system effectively collapsed at the local level. Agricultural cooperatives and syndicates issued their own currency almost as a matter of survival, and the Sindicat Agrícol here was no exception.

The Gari Mon reference places this firmly in the documented corpus, though surviving examples are genuinely rare — a village this size would have printed in very small quantities.
