Ababuj is a village in the Maestrazgo region of Teruel province — one of the most isolated corners of Republican Spain during the Civil War. With the peseta system effectively collapsing at the local level by 1937, hundreds of Spanish municipalities printed their own emergency paper, and Ababuj was among the smallest to do so. The population at the time was under three hundred.
The Gari Monetary catalogue documents this as the only denomination issued by the council. A rubber stamp impression serves as the sole security measure — which was entirely typical for village-level emergency scrip where engraved printing was simply not an option.
