Agres is a small municipality in the comarca of El Comtat, Alicante province. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone suffered an acute shortage of fractional coinage — silver had been hoarded and copper diverted — forcing hundreds of Spanish towns to issue their own emergency paper money under the aegis of local councils. These municipally issued notes, collectively called "billetes locales" or "moneda local de guerra," were authorized by the Republican government from 1936 onward as a stopgap measure.
The Consejo Municipal series from Agres is genuinely rare; the town's population was small, issue quantities were correspondingly low, and survival rates for this class of wartime local scrip are poor. The Gari Monografies catalog remains the primary reference for Valencia-region municipal issues.
