Sevilleja de la Jara is a small municipality in Toledo province, and like hundreds of similar councils across Republican Spain, it resorted to printing its own fractional currency during the Civil War after the withdrawal of metallic coin from circulation left communities without any means of making small change. These emergency local issues — collectively catalogued under the broad "Guerra Civil" series — were produced under wildly variable conditions, ranging from proper print shops in provincial capitals to rubber stamps and carbon copies in village halls. Gari Mon 1363-A gives no indication which end of that spectrum this falls on.
