Ulea is a small municipality in the Ricote Valley of Murcia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it resorted to locally issued paper during the Civil War after the Republic's coinage effectively vanished from circulation in 1936–37. These municipal emergency notes — collectively catalogued under the Guerra Civil series — were produced under wildly varying conditions, often on whatever paper stock was available, with rubber stamps, typefaces, and handwritten signatures standing in for formal printing.
The Gari Mon reference places this among the documented Murcia regional issues, though survival rates for small-denomination Ulea pieces are poorly recorded.
