Salsadella is a small municipality in the Baix Maestrat comarca of Castellón, and like hundreds of similar villages across Republican-held Spain, it issued its own fractional emergency currency in 1937 when the Republic's chronic small-coin shortage left ordinary commerce nearly paralyzed. These municipal vouchers — technically vales, not banknotes — were produced locally, typically on whatever card stock the ayuntamiento had available, and their circulation was strictly limited to the issuing municipality.
At this size and on thick card, the Gari Mon#1299-A is among the more ephemeral objects in Spanish Civil War notaphily. Very few were saved with any intention.
