| Comments |
Viator is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of similar Spanish towns, its ayuntamiento issued small-denomination paper during the Civil War to address the acute shortage of fractional coinage that followed the Republic's mobilization of silver and copper reserves from 1936 onward. The Consejo Municipal designation places this note firmly in the Republican administrative period, when locally-elected bodies assumed broader civic authority.
The Gari Montllor reference is incomplete, which is not unusual for Almería province issues — many small-town emissions were produced in tiny quantities, survive in single-digit numbers, and were never comprehensively catalogued.
