Robres is a village in Huesca province, Aragon, with a population that barely reached a few hundred during the 1930s. Like dozens of similar municipalities across Republican-held Spain, its town council issued emergency small-denomination paper during the Civil War to address the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. These local emissions, collectively catalogued under the broader "Guerra Civil" municipal series, were produced with whatever printing resources the council had at hand.
The official stamp is the only security feature — a rubber or metal die impression that served as the issuing authority's authentication mark. Gari Mon#1257-B suggests at least one variant exists within the Robres 1 Peseta emission.
