Carboneras de Guadazaón is a small municipality in Cuenca province, Castilla-La Mancha, and like hundreds of similarly small Spanish towns it issued fractional emergency paper money during the Civil War years of 1936–1939. The collapse of metallic coinage circulation — hoarded almost immediately once fighting began — forced local ayuntamientos to produce their own small-denomination notes to keep daily commerce moving. Quarter-peseta notes were among the most practically necessary, covering the smallest retail transactions.
The Gari Montaner reference number is unassigned here, suggesting this piece either has not been formally catalogued or remains poorly documented in the specialist literature. Condition and provenance matter considerably for attributing undocumented local issues.
