One of hundreds of local emergency issues printed during the Spanish Civil War, when the Republican government's inability to maintain small-change supply forced municipalities across Andalucía to commission their own fractional notes. Murtas, Cojáyar, and Mecina Tedel are three small villages in the Alpujarra Alta district of Granada — the fact that they issued jointly under a single Consejo Municipal reflects wartime administrative consolidation rather than any permanent political union.
Papelería Lacoste in Almería handled a significant volume of these municipal issues, making them one of the more identifiable regional printers in the Gari catalog for southeastern Spain.
