Ontiñena is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued fractional paper currency during the Civil War after metallic coinage vanished from circulation almost entirely by 1936–37. These municipal emergency notes — locally called "vales" or "billetes locales" — were typically produced in very small print runs, often on whatever stock was available, with authorization from the local committee or ayuntamiento.
The Gari Montserrat reference is incomplete here, which is not unusual for the smaller Aragonese issues — many were never formally catalogued with full data.
