Pulpí is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of similarly sized Spanish towns, its ayuntamiento issued fractional paper money during the Civil War after metallic coin essentially vanished from circulation. The Republican government's decree authorizing local emergency currency in 1937 unleashed a flood of these municipally-issued pieces — some professionally printed, others barely so.
Gari Mon 1206-A places this firmly within the documented Almería provincial issues, though surviving examples are genuinely uncommon; Pulpí's wartime population was small, total print runs were modest, and postwar suppression of Republican-associated material took care of much of what remained.
