Comments

Larva is a small municipality in the province of Granada, Andalusia. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone experienced a near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage in circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent — forcing hundreds of individual town councils to issue their own emergency paper fractionals. The Consejo Municipal de Larva's 0.25 pesetas note is one of these hyper-local emissions, produced with whatever printing resources were available at the municipal level, which typically meant rudimentary typography rather than professional engraving.

The Gari Monerris reference number is unassigned, suggesting this piece remains incompletely catalogued in the specialist literature on Spanish Civil War local issues.
