Agres is a small municipality in the Alcoi comarca of Valencia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when Republican authorities could not supply enough small change to keep local commerce moving. These municipal issues — collectively catalogued under the broader "billetes locales" framework — were produced under the decree of the Generalitat de Catalunya and equivalent regional authorities permitting local bodies to print provisional notes. Agres, with a population in the hundreds, had no meaningful printing infrastructure, which typically meant notes were produced on whatever stock was available and validated by a rubber stamp rather than any embedded security feature.
