| Comments |
Fayón is a small municipality on the Ebro in what was then the Aragonese rearguard of the Republican zone. Like dozens of Aragonese villages during 1936–37, its council issued local emergency paper when coin disappeared almost entirely from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. These municipal notes were never legal tender beyond the village boundary and were theoretically redeemable once normal currency returned, a promise most issuing bodies were in no position to keep.
Three signatories across three distinct council roles — president, supplies councillor, and depositary — reflects the administrative formalism these small municipalities maintained even under wartime conditions. Gari Mon 636-C is among the scarcer Fayón variants.
