Binéfar is a small agricultural town in the Huesca province of Aragon, and its 1937 emergency scrip belongs to the vast wave of locally issued paper money produced across Republican-held Spain when the Civil War's disruptions caused coins to disappear from circulation almost entirely. The hoarding of metal coinage — driven partly by fear, partly by its intrinsic value — left municipalities scrambling to print their own fractional substitutes. Hundreds of Aragonese councils did exactly this, many through improvised means with whatever printing resources were at hand locally.
The Gari Montllor reference places this among documented Aragonese Civil War issues, though surviving examples are unevenly recorded.
