Albondón is a small municipality in the Granada province of Andalusia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency small-change notes when coinage disappeared from circulation almost entirely after 1936. These consejo municipal issues were purely local instruments — legally questionable, practically necessary, and rarely intended to travel far beyond the town's own commerce.
The Gari Mon reference places this firmly within the documented Andalusian emergency series, though survival rates for these village-level issues are erratic. Many were redeemed, burned, or simply lost when the war ended and the new regime consolidated currency.
