| Comments |
Boltaña is a small town in the Aragonese Pyrenees, and this note is a product of the fractional currency chaos that gripped Republican Spain after the military uprising of July 1936. The hoarding of metallic coin — silver especially — was almost immediate, and municipal councils across Aragon were left to plug the gap with whatever printing resources they had locally. The Consejo Municipal had no special mandate to issue money; it simply had no choice.
Gari Mon 351-C suggests this falls within a lettered sub-variety sequence, implying the council issued across multiple printings or with minor variations.
