Comments

Pedro Muñoz is a small agricultural town in the La Mancha plateau of Castile, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its local council was forced to print its own fractional currency after Republican authorities centralized and effectively hoarded coinage. The 1937 municipal emergency issues across La Mancha are poorly documented — many were printed in tiny runs on whatever card stock was available locally, used briefly, and discarded once the war moved on or the issuing council dissolved.

The Gari catalogue entry for this piece remains unassigned, which typically indicates either a very late addition to the corpus or a note whose attribution was still unresolved at time of publication.
