Almería's municipal council issued emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War, when the Republican zone faced acute small-change shortages after hoarding and melting of coin stripped circulation almost entirely. Local councils across loyalist Spain were authorized — loosely — to fill that gap themselves, producing notes of wildly varying quality and reliability. Almería's issues belong to that wave.
The Gari Mon reference places this within the specialized cataloging of Spanish Civil War local issues, which remains the primary authority for material that Pick largely bypasses.
