Agudo is a small municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone suffered an acute shortage of fractional coinage — silver and copper had vanished from circulation almost immediately after July 1936. Hundreds of local councils, cooperatives, and trade unions responded by issuing their own emergency paper, and the Consejo Municipal de Agudo was among them. These hyper-local emissions were rarely printed in large quantities, and survival rates are poor; many were redeemed or simply discarded once the crisis passed.
The Gari Monetary catalogue reference remains unassigned, which is telling — documentation for the smaller Castilian municipal issues has always been patchy.
