La Puebla de Castro is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and its 1937 peseta note belongs to the vast and poorly documented corpus of emergency local currency — billetes locales — issued during the Spanish Civil War when the Republican zone experienced acute small-change shortages. The Comisión Gestora was the wartime administrative body that replaced the pre-war municipal government, and it is the issuing authority here rather than any banking institution.
Imprentas Socializadas of Graus was a collectivized print shop operating under anarcho-syndicalist control during this period, which accounts for its unusual designation. Graus itself, roughly 15 kilometers from La Puebla de Castro, served as a regional printing hub for several neighboring municipalities issuing similar emergency scrip.
