Graus is a small town in the Aragonese Pyrenees, and like dozens of similar municipalities during the Spanish Civil War, its local workers' committee issued emergency fractional currency when coin disappeared almost entirely from circulation in 1936–37. The Comité de Fuerzas Obreras operated under the broader anarcho-syndicalist framework that briefly controlled much of rural Aragon, and these local emissions were never formally authorized by any central Republican authority.
At 37 × 30 mm, this is among the smallest paper currency formats produced during the conflict. The Garrido Montero census reference (Mon#735-F) places it within a well-documented but physically elusive series — survival rates for these Aragonese village notes are poor, partly because they were redeemed aggressively once Republican central control reasserted itself in 1937.
