Graus is a small town in the Ribagorza comarca of Aragon, and like dozens of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its local workers' committee issued fractional emergency currency when coin disappeared from circulation almost overnight in the summer of 1936. These tiny-format notes — and this one is genuinely tiny — were printed and distributed entirely at the local level, with no oversight from the Republican government or the Bank of Spain.
The Comité de Fuerzas Obreras designation places this firmly in the anarcho-syndicalist administrative moment of 1936, before the central Republican authorities began reasserting control over local monetary improvisation in 1937.
