Comments

Santisteban del Puerto is a small municipality in Jaén province, Andalusia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it resorted to locally issued emergency paper fractional currency during the Civil War years of 1936–1939, when Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation hoarded or melted. These municipal issues are catalogued collectively in Gari's reference, though many remain insufficiently documented — the incomplete "Mon#–" citation here suggests this specific piece has not been fully assigned a reference number, which itself signals rarity or cataloguing gaps.
