| Comments |
Zalamea de la Serena is a small municipality in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura — a region that fell almost entirely under Nationalist control by late 1936. That this Republican municipal council note exists at all from 1937 suggests the town briefly held or administered Republican-aligned emergency currency, likely during the acute small-change shortage that forced hundreds of Spanish municipalities to print their own fractional scrip. The guerra civil's peseta crisis produced thousands of these local emissions, most in tiny runs, many destroyed or lost when front lines shifted.
The Gari Mon reference places it firmly within the documented Spanish Civil War local currency corpus, but surviving examples remain rare given the chaotic conditions of issue and the town's size.
