| Comments |
Ontur is a small municipality in Albacete province, Castilla-La Mancha. During the Spanish Civil War, acute shortages of small-denomination coinage prompted hundreds of local councils across Republican-held territory to issue their own emergency paper scrip — these are collectively catalogued under the "billetes de necesidad" or "moneda local" classification. The Consejo Municipal de Ontur's 1 Peseta falls squarely into that category, produced under wartime necessity rather than any formal monetary authority.
The incomplete Gari Mon reference suggests this issue remains poorly documented in the specialist literature — known examples are rare enough that a firm catalog number has never been assigned.
