Villa de Don Fadrique is a small municipality in Toledo province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency paper currency during the Civil War when the Republic's coinage all but vanished from circulation. These local municipal notes — billetes de necesidad — were produced under conditions that left little room for sophisticated printing, and the Gari Mon catalogue documents an enormous range of them, most existing in tiny surviving quantities.
The #1589-B suffix in Gari Mon indicates a variety distinction within the type, likely a paper or ink variant rather than a separate issue date.
