Ceutí is a small agricultural municipality in the Murcia region, and like hundreds of Spanish towns in the summer of 1936, it faced an immediate practical problem: the outbreak of the Civil War caused hoarding of metallic coin almost overnight, collapsing small-change circulation within weeks. Municipal paper fractional currency — sometimes printed by local printers on whatever stock was available — filled the gap by necessity, not by any coordinated monetary policy.
The Gari Mon reference places this among the better-documented Murcian municipal emissions, though survival rates for these local wartime issues are uneven and often tied to how quickly Republican-zone towns were subsequently occupied.
