Serón is a small municipality in the sierra of Almería, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued emergency small-change notes when Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation after 1936. These local emissions — collectively documented in Gari Montllor's catalog — were produced under extreme resource constraints, typically on whatever paper stock was available, often with rudimentary handstamps or typewritten serial numbers rather than formal printing.
The Gari Mon# reference being unassigned suggests this piece either postdates the catalog's compilation or was recorded too late for full classification. Serón issues are among the less-documented Almería municipals.
