| Comments |
Escatrón is a small mining town on the Ebro in Aragón, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional paper when coinage vanished from circulation entirely. These consejo municipal notes were a purely local fix — accepted in the village, worthless two towns over. The 0.25 pesetas denomination was among the most common fractions issued nationwide precisely because small change was the first thing to disappear.
The Gari Mon reference places this firmly within the documented Aragonese local issues, though survival rates for these lightweight fractional pieces are uneven at best.
