| Comments |
San Clemente is a small Castilian municipality in Cuenca province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War period when Republican-zone coinage essentially vanished from circulation after 1936. These ayuntamiento-issued vales and cartones were purely local instruments — accepted at the corner shop, the market stall, nowhere else. The Gari Mon catalogue reference being incomplete suggests this piece hasn't been fully integrated into the standard corpus, which itself is a useful indicator of scarcity or late discovery.
