| Comments |
Broto is a small municipality in the Aragonese Pyrenees, and this note belongs to the vast, chaotic ecosystem of locally issued emergency money that proliferated across Republican Spain during the Civil War. When the banking system collapsed at the local level after July 1936, hundreds of municipalities printed their own scrip — some on proper paper stock, many on whatever was at hand. Broto's issues fall into the latter category.
The Gari Montserrat reference places this within a well-documented but thinly traded regional series. Small-town Aragonese issues at this weight and format were frequently produced in very limited runs, sometimes counted in the hundreds rather than thousands, which has made complete municipal sets genuinely difficult to assemble.
