Graus is a small municipality in the Ribagorza comarca of Aragón, and during the early weeks of the Spanish Civil War, local revolutionary committees across Republican territory issued their own emergency fractional currency — particularly for denominations below one peseta, where coin shortages bit hardest. The Comité de Fuerzas Obreras represents the workers' committee structure that briefly held administrative authority in many such towns after the July 1936 uprising.
At 37 × 30 mm, this is among the smallest pieces of civil war local paper to survive. The unlisted Gari status means it either escaped systematic cataloguing or surfaced after the standard reference was compiled — either way, provenance documentation matters considerably here.
