Sisante is a small municipality in Cuenca province, Castilla-La Mancha. Like hundreds of similar Spanish villages, it issued its own fractional paper money during the Civil War after the Republic's 1936 decree authorizing local authorities to produce emergency small-change notes — the national coinage having effectively disappeared from circulation almost immediately after the July coup.
The Gari Mon reference places this among documented Castilian local issues, but survival rates for village-level sueltos from this region are low. Many were redeemed locally or simply discarded once the war ended their usefulness.
