5 Céntimos La Puebla de Castro

La Puebla de Castro is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and this note is a product of the fractional currency crisis that swept Republican-held Spain in 1937. When the war disrupted coin circulation and small change effectively vanished from commerce, hundreds of local councils, cooperatives, and comités issued their own emergency paper in denominations too low for any central authority to bother with. The Comisión Gestora — essentially the town's wartime administrative committee — had the legal and political backing to do so under Republican emergency provisions.

Imprentas Socializadas in Graus was a collectivized print operation, taken over by workers' committees early in the conflict. It produced emergency scrip for numerous small Aragonese municipalities during this period.
