| Comments |
Castel de Cabra is a small municipality in Teruel province, Aragon — population historically in the low hundreds — and its emission of fractional paper currency during the Spanish Civil War places it among the smallest issuing authorities of that conflict. The Republican zone's chronic shortage of metallic coinage after 1936 forced even the most obscure village councils to print or stamp their own emergency fractions, and Gari Mon catalogues hundreds of such hyper-local emissions from across Aragon alone.
The 470-A designation suggests at least one variant exists within the type, likely a paper stock or handstamp difference rather than a redesign.
