Gelsa is a small municipality in Zaragoza province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued fractional emergency currency when the Republic's central supply of small coinage collapsed almost immediately after the July 1936 uprising. The C.A.M. in Barcelona printed enormous quantities of these municipally authorized notes for councils across Catalonia and Aragon throughout 1937, functioning essentially as a clearinghouse for local emergency paper.
Gelsa sat in a contested zone — the Aragon front ran close by, and the town changed hands during the Nationalist advance in 1938. Very few of these notes survived that disruption.
