| Comments |
Candasnos is a tiny municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and this note is among the smallest-denomination emergency issues produced during the Spanish Civil War — a period when the Republican government's inability to keep small coinage in circulation forced hundreds of individual ayuntamientos and consejos to print their own fractional paper. The Consejo Municipal de Candasnos had no printing infrastructure to speak of; these were typically produced locally with whatever means were available, authenticated only by an official rubber stamp.
The village's wartime population was under a thousand. That the note exists at all is the more remarkable fact.
