Navas de San Juan is a small municipality in Jaén province, Andalusia, and this note is a product of the chaotic local currency emergency that swept Republican-held Spain during 1936–37. When the Civil War disrupted coin supply and the central government was slow to respond, hundreds of municipalities — including many with little administrative infrastructure — began printing their own emergency fractional scrip. Most were produced on whatever paper and printing equipment was locally available.
The Gari Montserrat reference confirms this as a documented municipio emission, but survival rates for these small-town issues are inherently low. Juan José Collado López, as the signing authority, was almost certainly a local official rather than a bank functionary.
