| Comments |
Puebla de Don Fadrique is a small municipality in the Granada province, and this note is one of hundreds of hyperlocal emergency issues that flooded Republican-held Spain during the Civil War after the military uprising of July 1936 severed supply chains and caused coin to vanish almost immediately from circulation. Municipal councils, trade unions, and cooperatives all printed their own scrip out of necessity — central Republican authorities tolerated it because the alternative was economic paralysis at the local level.
The Gari Montaner reference places this firmly within the documented Granada provincial issues, though survival rates for these village-level emissions are highly uneven. Many were redeemed and pulped; others simply ceased to be accepted when the war turned.
