| Comments |
Bujalance is a small olive-growing town in Córdoba province, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its local Popular Front committee issued emergency fractional currency when Republican Spain's small-change supply collapsed after July 1936. The Gari Mon catalogue documents an extraordinary proliferation of these local issues — each committee printing what it needed, with no central oversight of design, paper stock, or denominations.
The #371-D suffix in Gari Mon typically indicates a distinct variety within the Bujalance series, differentiated by colour, paper, or typographic detail rather than face value.
