Sena is a small municipality in Huesca province, Aragon — and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional paper to replace coinage that had vanished from circulation almost overnight after July 1936. Hoarding, requisitioning, and simple panic drained small change from the market with extraordinary speed, forcing municipal bodies with no banking authority whatsoever to improvise their own currency.
The Gari Mon catalogue documents thousands of these local emissions. The #1346-B designation indicates at least a second recorded variant for Sena, which is notable for a village of its size.
