San Miguel de Salinas is a small municipality in the Vega Baja del Segura, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it was forced to print its own fractional currency after metallic coinage vanished from circulation almost overnight in 1936. The Republican government's decree authorizing local emergency issues gave municipal councils legal cover, but in practice each ayuntamiento improvised — sourcing whatever press was nearby. Here that meant Imprenta Alonso in the nearby town of Almoradí.
The Gari Montaner reference B suffix typically indicates a variant within the series, often distinguished by a color difference, paper stock, or minor typographic change from the primary listing.
