One of hundreds of small-denomination emergency notes issued by Spanish municipal councils during the Civil War, when the Republic's coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable in towns far from banking infrastructure. Monóvar, a small Alicante province municipality best known for its wine production, issued its own provisional paper to keep local commerce moving.
The Gari catalogue suffix -B typically indicates a distinct variety within the emission, often differentiated by serial range, stamp color, or minor typographic variation from the primary issue.
