Comments

La Puebla de Roda is a small municipality in the Ribagorza comarca of Huesca, Aragon — an area so remote that during the Spanish Civil War, local governments across Republican-held territory were forced to issue their own emergency fractional currency when the central supply of small coins collapsed entirely. This note is one of those emissions, produced under the broad authorization granted by the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Republican government to municipalities that could demonstrate a practical need.

Gari Mon #1188-B indicates a catalogued variant, suggesting at least two recognized types exist for this denomination from this issuer — unusual for a town of this size.
