| Opmerkingen |
Yegen is a small village in the Alpujarras region of Granada province, made internationally familiar by Gerald Brenan, who lived there and wrote about it in South from Granada. That literary association is incidental to this note. What matters here is that during the Spanish Civil War, the near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage forced hundreds of municipalities to issue their own emergency paper — and Yegen, with a population of only a few hundred, was among them.
Papelería Lacoste in Almería produced scrip for numerous Alpujarras municipalities during 1936–37, giving this and related issues a regional coherence despite their hyper-local authority. The Gari Mon reference remains unassigned, suggesting the type was either catalogued late or survives in very limited documented examples.
