| Obverse description | Plain typeset design printed in black ink, enclosed within a simple geometric border frame. The local coat of arms of Muniesa is positioned to the left, alongside the issuing authority name and denomination text. The composition is characteristic of Spanish Civil War-era anarchist collectivity emergency issues, produced with minimal typographic ornamentation. |

Muniesa is a small village in Teruel province, Aragon — squarely within the anarchist-controlled territory during the Spanish Civil War. Like hundreds of Aragonese municipalities, the local collectivity issued its own fractional paper when Republican-era small change effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted within months of the July 1936 uprising. These village-level emissions were never formally sanctioned by any central authority; they functioned entirely on local trust.
The Gari Mon reference places this within the documented Aragonese series, but survival rates for Teruel province notes are notably poor — the region changed hands violently in late 1937 and early 1938, and most remaining stocks were lost or destroyed during those campaigns.
