Beniardá is a village in the Marina Baixa comarca of Alicante province with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s. Like dozens of similarly small Republican-held municipalities, it issued its own emergency paper scrip during the Civil War after the withdrawal of metallic coinage — a consequence of silver and copper being hoarded or requisitioned for the war effort. The Consejo Municipal replaced the traditional ayuntamiento structure under Republican wartime reorganization, and that body's stamp is the note's only security feature.
The Garrut-style municipal issues from this region remain poorly catalogued; the incomplete Gari reference here reflects genuine gaps in the literature rather than rarity by default.
