Sena was a small municipality in Huesca, Aragon, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coinage vanished from circulation almost overnight in 1936. These consejo-issued notes filled a gap that the central government in Valencia was slow to address — small change was hoarded, melted, or simply refused.
Gari Mon#1346-A suggests a single known type, which is consistent with the limited issuing capacity of a village-scale authority. Most Aragonese local issues had very short emission windows, and survival rates vary wildly depending on whether the town was overrun, evacuated, or administratively absorbed before redemption occurred.
