Puebla de Híjar is a small municipality in the province of Teruel, Aragon, and like dozens of similar towns it resorted to locally issued paper money during the Spanish Civil War when Republican-zone coin shortages became acute after 1936. These colectividad issues were produced by the agricultural and industrial collectives that effectively ran many Aragonese towns under anarchist administration — the CNT-FAO structure meant that the issuing authority was often the collective itself rather than any municipal government body.

The Gari Monetary catalog reference for this specific issue remains unassigned, which typically signals either a very recently documented specimen or one known from a single source. Survival rates for Aragonese colectividad notes are uneven at best; many were printed on poor-quality local stock and discarded after Franco's forces retook the region in 1938.
