| Comments |
Dalías is a small agricultural municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued emergency fractional paper during the Civil War years — a direct consequence of the hoarding of metallic coinage that crippled small transactions from mid-1936 onward. The Consejo de Ministros authorized municipal and commercial bodies to fill the gap, producing what collectors now group under the broad heading of billetes locales.
The Gari Monerris reference is incomplete for this piece, suggesting it was either uncatalogued at time of publication or known only from a single reported example. That ambiguity alone makes provenance documentation worth preserving alongside the note.
