Comments

Lascuarre is a small municipality in the Ribagorza comarca of Huesca province, Aragon, and like hundreds of similarly tiny Spanish localities, it issued emergency paper money during the Civil War years of 1936–1939 when Republican Spain faced a near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage. These municipally issued notes — collectively catalogued under the broader "Guerra Civil" local issues — were produced with whatever materials were at hand, which accounts for the thick card stock rather than conventional banknote paper.

Gari Mon cataloguing places this among the rarer provincial Aragonese issues; Lascuarre's population was small enough that surviving quantities are genuinely limited.
