Abla is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1937 when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed entirely. These local vales were authorised under a general framework but produced with whatever printing resources the town had available — typically rudimentary, often on whatever paper stock wasn't already being used for something else.
The Gari Mon reference is unassigned, which likely means surviving examples are too scarce to have generated a proper census. Small Almería municipalities are among the least documented issuers in the entire Spanish local emergency currency series.
