Puértolas is a small municipality in the Aragonese Pyrenees, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War when coinage vanished almost entirely from circulation. These local issues — collectively catalogued under the broader Republican emergency currency series — were produced with minimal resources, often printed locally or by small regional printers with no particular security printing experience. The Consejo Municipal authorization gave them legal standing at the hyper-local level, though acceptance beyond the issuing municipality was never guaranteed.
Gari Mon#1196-B is among the harder Puértolas variants to pin down in terms of surviving population. The series is thinly documented.
