Puértolas is a tiny municipality in the Aragonese Pyrenees, and its wartime scrip belongs to the vast ecosystem of local emergency money — moneda local de guerra — issued across Republican Spain during the Civil War when the central government's coinage effectively vanished from circulation. Hundreds of village councils, trade unions, and cooperatives issued their own fractional notes between 1936 and 1939, most in very small print runs intended purely for local transactions.
Gari Mon#1196-A is among the more obscure municipal emissions. The survival rate for these Pyrenean village issues is low — not through dramatic circumstance but simple attrition.
