Azanuy is a village in the Huesca province of Aragon — a municipality so small that its wartime emergency currency is among the most obscure issues of the entire Spanish Civil War local coinage period. When the Republic's central banking system fragmented after July 1936, hundreds of municipal councils across Republican-held Spain were forced to produce their own fractional notes to replace hoarded coins. Azanuy was one of the smallest communities to do so.
Gari Mon#210-A survivors are rare enough that condition is almost beside the point — documented examples in any state are scarce.
