Estadilla is a small municipality in the province of Huesca, Aragon — deep Republican territory during the Civil War. Like hundreds of Spanish towns cut off from adequate coin supplies by the economic disruption of 1936–37, its local council (Consejo Municipal) issued its own emergency paper fractional currency, known collectively as "billetes de necesidad." These municipal emissions were technically illegal under pre-war monetary law but were tolerated out of practical necessity.
The Gari Montaner reference places this in a well-documented regional typology, though surviving Estadilla pieces are scarce — small-town emissions were produced in limited quantities and rarely traveled far from their point of issue.
