Adra is a small fishing port on the Almería coast, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of 1937 authorized local authorities to produce small-denomination notes to address the chronic shortage of coin in circulation. The Gari Mon reference places this within the documented Almería provincial series, though municipal issues from towns this size were typically printed in extremely limited runs — often by local printers with no banknote experience — and saw hard daily use before being withdrawn once centralized Republican currency stabilized supply.
