Gargallo is a village in the Maestrazgo comarca of Teruel province, Aragon — a community small enough that its wartime emergency paper carried no printer's imprint, no serial numbers, and no sophisticated anti-counterfeiting beyond a rubber or wax official stamp. This note was issued by the local municipal government during the Spanish Civil War, when the Republican zone suffered acute coin shortages and hundreds of ayuntamientos resorted to printing their own fractional currency rather than let commerce collapse entirely.
The Gari Mon catalogue reference places this firmly within the regional emergency issues systematically documented by Gayá Nuño and later expanded by Garí. Very few Gargallo issues survive in any condition — the village's population was under a few hundred, and the notes' circulation radius was essentially local commerce only.
