| Comments |
Peñarroya de Tastavins is a village in the Matarraña comarca of Aragon, and like hundreds of similarly small Republican municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional paper when metallic coins vanished from circulation after 1936. These hyper-local emissions — often printed on whatever stock was available, sometimes rubber-stamped rather than typeset — were legal only within the issuing municipality. The Ayuntamiento had no banking infrastructure behind them, just local authority and practical necessity.
The Gari Montllor catalog remains the standard reference for these Spanish Civil War municipal issues, and the B suffix here indicates a recognized variety within the type.
