Angüés is a tiny village in the Hoya de Huesca, and this note was issued by its agricultural collective during the Spanish Civil War — one of hundreds of such emergency local currencies that appeared across Republican-controlled Aragon after July 1936, when the anarcho-syndicalist collectives effectively displaced conventional commerce in much of the region. The CNT-aligned collectives frequently banned cash transactions entirely, replacing pesetas with internal scrip valid only within the collective's economy.

Gari Mon 169A-A places this among the rarer Aragonese village emissions. Paper quality was whatever was locally available, and print runs were small enough that survival rates are low even for uncirculated examples.
