Turón is a small municipality in the Alpujarras region of Granada province, and its wartime scrip belongs to the dense ecosystem of Spanish Civil War emergency local currency that flooded circulation after the July 1936 military rising disrupted central banking and coin supply simultaneously. The Consejo Municipal — a revolutionary administrative body in most Republican zones by that point — had the practical authority to authorize these emissions even without formal central government sanction.
Papelería Lacoste of Almería printed for several Andalusian municipalities during this period, which occasionally makes attribution tricky when printer's marks are absent or partially legible. The Gari Monerris reference number remains unassigned, suggesting documentation is incomplete or a confirmed example has not been catalogued formally.
