Aínsa is a small fortified town in the Aragonese Pyrenees, and like dozens of similarly isolated municipalities, its revolutionary committee issued fractional emergency currency during the Spanish Civil War when metallic coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely by late 1936. These local committee notes — often hand-stamped on whatever card stock was available — were produced in tiny runs for purely local use, sometimes circulating for only a few months before being superseded or simply abandoned.
The Gari Mon reference places this firmly within the documented Aragonese municipal emissions, but survival rates for these micro-format issues are poor; the material was never intended to last.
