Deifontes is a small municipality in the province of Granada, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War period, it issued its own emergency paper currency when coins vanished from circulation after 1936. These hyper-local municipal notes — often produced with whatever printing resources existed in the town — rarely survived in quantity. Most were redeemed or simply discarded once the war resolved local supply chains one way or another.
The Gari Monerris reference being incomplete suggests this piece remains inadequately catalogued, which is itself meaningful: Andalusian municipal emissions from smaller villages are among the least documented in the entire Spanish local currency literature.
