Ontiñena is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it resorted to issuing its own fractional paper currency during the Civil War after metallic coinage vanished from circulation almost entirely by 1936–37. These local emergency issues — collectively known as "guerra civil" or municipal suplencias — were produced under desperate conditions, often by local printers with no specialized security printing experience, and quality varied wildly even within a single series.

The Garrido-Moragas reference gap suggests documentation on this specific issue remains incomplete.
