2 Pesetas Ontiñena

Ontiñena is a small agricultural municipality in the Monegros district of Huesca, Aragon — deep in territory that was contested and then held by Republican forces during the early phase of the Civil War. Like hundreds of other Aragonese towns, the local council issued its own fractional currency in 1937 to address the near-total disappearance of small-denomination coinage from circulation, hoarded or melted almost immediately after the July 1936 uprising.

The Gari Mon reference places this within a well-documented corpus of Aragonese municipal emergency issues, though survivorship among Ontiñena notes is limited — small-town issues were printed in low quantities and saw hard use before the Republican monetary consolidation effort rendered them void.
