| Comments |
Galera is a small municipality in the Granada province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coinage vanished almost entirely from circulation in 1936–37. The Consejo Municipal stepped in to fill the gap with locally printed paper.
Imprenta Belmonte in Huéscar — the comarca's main town, roughly 10 km away — handled production for several of these small-municipality issues. The Gari Mon reference remains unassigned, reflecting how poorly documented the granular local issues of Republican Spain still are.
