| Comments |
Motril, a sugar-producing town on Granada's coast, was under Republican control during the Spanish Civil War, and like hundreds of municipalities cut off from reliable coin supply, it resorted to locally printed emergency paper — *cartones* and *vales* — to keep small transactions moving. The Comité Central Permanente de Enlace U.H.P. was a wartime anarcho-syndicalist coordinating body; U.H.P. standing for *Uníos Hermanos Proletarios*, the rallying cry first used during the October 1934 Asturian uprising.
Gari Montaner's cataloguing of these municipal Civil War issues remains the principal reference, and the 978-A designation suggests at least one variant exists within the type.
