Graus is a small town in the Ribagorza comarca of Aragón, and like dozens of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its local workers' committee issued emergency fractional scrip when Republican-zone coinage all but vanished from circulation in 1936–37. The Comité de Fuerzas Obreras — a labor-oriented body rather than a municipal authority — was the issuer here, which places this note among the more politically specific local emissions of the period.
At under four centimeters in either dimension, it is among the smallest paper issues catalogued in the Gari series. Survival rates for Aragonese committee scrip are poor; much was destroyed or discarded after the Nationalist capture of the region in 1938.
