Boltaña is a small municipality in the Aragonese Pyrenees, and this 2 pesetas note is one of dozens of emergency local currency issues that flooded the Republican zone after the July 1936 military uprising disrupted coin circulation across Spain. The Banco de España's small-denomination metallic coinage effectively vanished from commerce — hoarded, melted, or simply stranded behind shifting front lines — forcing town councils throughout Aragon to print their own fractional paper.
The Consejo Municipal issues from this area tend to survive in limited numbers; wartime paper from small Aragonese towns was rarely preserved systematically, and many councils ceased to function before any redemption was organized.
