Comments

Laspuña is a small village in the Aragonese Pyrenees with a population that has rarely exceeded a few hundred. Like dozens of other Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its local council issued fractional emergency currency when coins disappeared from circulation almost entirely after 1936 — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable in isolated rural communities. Notes of this denomination from councils this small were produced in tiny quantities, often on whatever card stock was at hand, and circulated within a radius that might not extend beyond a single valley.

The Gari catalogue reference is incomplete, which is not unusual for the more obscure Aragonese emissions. Attribution and survival rates for these hyper-local pieces remain poorly documented.
