Agudo is a small municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha. During the Civil War, the Republican zone experienced a near-total collapse of small change — silver and copper coins disappeared from circulation almost immediately after July 1936, hoarded or melted down — forcing hundreds of ayuntamientos and local councils to print their own emergency fractional notes. Agudo's council was one of several hundred that did exactly this in 1937.
The Gari reference number is unassigned, which typically means the cataloger logged the issuer but lacked a confirmed specimen at time of publication. Surviving examples from municipalities this small are genuinely uncommon.
