Escucha is a small coal-mining village in Teruel, Aragon — deep Republican territory during the Civil War and almost entirely cut off from reliable currency supply by 1937. Dozens of Aragonese municipalities issued their own emergency fractional notes that year, and Escucha was among the smaller communities to do so, which makes surviving examples uncommon simply by virtue of the issuing population being tiny.
The Gari Monetary catalogue distinguishes a 609-B variant, implying at least one earlier type — likely a difference in handstamp, signature, or paper stock rather than a redesign.
