Tévar is a small municipality in Cuenca province, Castilla-La Mancha, and its local council issued fractional paper currency during the Spanish Civil War — a direct consequence of the catastrophic hoarding of metallic coin that stripped small change from circulation across Republican-held Spain from 1936 onward. Hundreds of municipalities, trade unions, and local committees issued their own emergency fractions under implicit sanction from the Republican government, which simply could not produce enough low-denomination coinage to meet demand.
Gari Mon #1414-A is one of the scarcer Cuenca provincial issues — Tévar's tiny population meant production runs were small and local absorption nearly total.
