Alcañiz, a small town in Teruel province, fell within the shifting front lines of the Aragonese campaign throughout much of 1937. Municipal emergency currency of this type — issued under Republican authority when coin circulation had effectively collapsed — was a local solution to a local shortage, with no coordination between the dozens of Aragonese towns doing the same thing simultaneously.
The Gari Mon reference places this within the documented Aragonese municipal series, though surviving examples from Teruel province are consistently harder to locate than comparable emissions from Catalonia or the Valencian region.
