Beniardá is a village in the Marina Baixa comarca of Alicante with a population that barely reached 300 during the 1930s. That a settlement of that size issued its own emergency paper money is less surprising than it sounds — the Spanish Civil War produced thousands of locally printed billetes de necesidad after the Republican government's inability to distribute sufficient coinage left municipalities improvising their own fractional currency from 1936 onward.
The Gari Monastery catalog reference places this firmly within the documented Valencia region issues, though actual survival rates for Beniardá examples are poor. Most village issues of this type were redeemed locally or simply discarded once the crisis passed.
