10 Céntimos Estercuel

Estercuel is a small village in the Maestrazgo district of Teruel, Aragon — one of hundreds of Republican-held municipalities that issued their own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the withdrawal of metallic coinage from circulation. The Consejo Municipal issues of this period were born out of necessity: the Bank of Spain had essentially ceased functioning as a supplier of small change to the Aragonese interior by mid-1936, and local councils stepped in with whatever printing resources they had available.

The Gari Mon reference places this squarely within the documented Aragon local emission corpus. Notes from villages this small were produced in very limited quantities and rarely traveled far — which paradoxically means survivors are often in reasonable condition, having sat in a drawer rather than passed through dozens of hands.
