| Comments |
Barbastro, a small city in Aragon, issued emergency paper currency during the Civil War as the Republican zone's monetary infrastructure collapsed in 1936–37. The original municipal notes were necessity instruments, printed under improvised conditions. This 2003 replica is a different matter entirely — produced by the Real Casa de la Moneda, the same institution that prints Spain's official currency, for commemorative purposes, decades after the originals had effectively vanished from circulation and collector supply alike.
The FNMT's involvement gives it technical polish the originals never had.
