Comments

Laguarres is a village in the Ribagorza comarca of Huaesca, Aragon — a community small enough that its wartime paper money issue is essentially a curiosity of necessity rather than monetary policy. During the Spanish Civil War, the acute shortage of small coinage drove hundreds of municipalities, even the most minor, to print their own fractional emergency scrip. Laguarres was one of the smallest communities to do so, which makes any surviving piece genuinely uncommon.

The Gari Montaner catalog entry 809-A reflects its obscurity — documentation on exact print runs for villages at this scale is nearly nonexistent.
