Boltaña is a small municipality in the Aragonese Pyrenees, and its local council issued emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War under the same conditions that pushed hundreds of Republican-controlled towns to print their own emergency fractional currency — the withdrawal and hoarding of coin had gutted everyday commerce. These municipal issues are catalogued under the broader *billetes locales* classification, with Gayón-Almiñana and similar regional references documenting the sheer proliferation of such notes across Aragon, Catalonia, and the Levante in 1936–38.
Gari Mon#351-G places this among the documented Boltaña emissions, though surviving examples are scarce given the note's purely local utility and the disruption following Franco's consolidation of Aragon in late 1937.
