Agramón is a pedanía — a rural administrative subdivision — of Hellín, in Albacete province. Like hundreds of Spanish villages and small municipalities, it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of May 1937 authorized local bodies to produce low-denomination fractional currency to replace hoarded coin. These hyper-local emissions were often produced with whatever printing or stamping equipment was at hand, and this 1 Peseta is no exception — the stamp impression serving as the primary authentication mark in the absence of more sophisticated security infrastructure.
Gari's cataloguing of the Agramón series distinguishes this as the B variant, implying at least one additional type exists within the emission.
