| Comments |
Píñar is a small municipality in the province of Granada, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional notes when the Republic's small change effectively vanished from circulation after July 1936. These municipal pieces — often handwritten, rubber-stamped, or crudely typeset — were never intended to travel beyond the village that issued them. Most were redeemed, lost, or destroyed within months.
The Gari Moneo reference is incomplete, suggesting this piece was either unknown or unconfirmed at time of cataloging.
