Agudo is a small municipality in Ciudad Real province, Castile-La Mancha. During the Civil War, the Republican zone suffered acute small-change shortages as hoarding and disrupted supply chains pulled coins out of circulation almost immediately after July 1936. Hundreds of local councils across Republican Spain responded by issuing their own emergency fractional currency — cartones, vales, or simply locally printed scraps — with no central authorization and wildly inconsistent quality.
The Garrido Montón reference being unassigned suggests this piece has not been fully catalogued in the standard Spanish Civil War local issues reference, which means auction appearances and known-population data are effectively nonexistent.
