Guadahortuna is a small municipality in Granada province, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican-held Spain, its local council issued emergency fractional paper money during the Civil War when small coin essentially vanished from circulation. The Consejo Municipal issues of this period were purely local instruments — accepted in the immediate vicinity and worthless beyond it. Many were printed on whatever stock was available, sometimes using office supplies or local print shops with no banking infrastructure whatsoever.
The Gari Mon reference places this firmly within the documented Andalusian municipal series, but survival rates for these hyperlocal issues are unpredictable. Some towns issued hundreds of thousands; others printed only a few hundred pieces before being overrun or reorganized.
