Híjar is a small town in Aragon, and its locally issued peseta notes belong to the wave of emergency fractional currency that flooded Spain during the Civil War after the Republic's decree of June 1937 authorized municipalities to print their own small-denomination paper. The national coinage had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent — and towns like Híjar filled the gap with whatever printing resources they had on hand.
The Gari Mon 760-B designation distinguishes this from at least one other Híjar peseta variant, suggesting the municipality issued more than one type or date — unusual for a town of this size.
