La Puebla de Castro was a small municipality in the province of Huesca, Aragon, and like hundreds of similar villages across Republican Spain during the Civil War, its collective — likely CNT-affiliated — issued fractional paper currency to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coin from circulation after 1936. These hyper-local emissions were never formally sanctioned by the Republican treasury and carry no serial numbers or security features worth speaking of.
Most perished in daily use or were discarded after the war. Survivorship is almost entirely a function of chance.
