Los Gallardos is a small municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1937 when Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation. The Generalitat and central Republican government repeatedly promised solutions to the small-change crisis; none arrived quickly enough for rural Almería, so local councils printed their own.
Gari Mon#693-B suggests a second type or variant within the Los Gallardos series — worth checking against the first type, as differences between variants in these municipal issues are often nothing more than a change in serial numbering ink or a slight shift in stamp color.
