0.50 Pesetas Agres

Agres is a small municipality in the comarca of El Comtat, Alicante province. During the Civil War, the Republican zone suffered a near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage — hoarded, melted, or simply absent — and hundreds of Spanish municipalities responded by issuing their own emergency paper fractionals. These are collectively known as billetes locales or moneda fiduciaria municipal, and Agres produced at least the series catalogued under Gari Mon #17.

The Consejo Municipal designation rather than Ayuntamiento reflects the wartime reorganization of local government under Republican administration after July 1936.
