Fonz is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican Spain, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the hoarding of coins — particularly copper and silver — created an acute shortage of small change. The Consejo Municipal handled these emissions locally, with no central oversight of design or print quality, which accounts for the considerable variation seen across the Aragonese municipal issues.
The Gari Montllor catalogue remains the primary reference for these Civil War locales, and the B suffix on this listing typically indicates a variant — differing serial range, stamp color, or paper stock from the base type.
