Seròs is a small municipality in the Segre river basin of Lleida, and like dozens of Catalan and Aragonese villages during the Civil War, it briefly operated outside the peseta economy under anarcho-syndicalist collectivization. The CNT's Colectividad Renacer — "rebirth" — issued local scrip to function within a collectivized economy where wages, goods, and services were redistributed communally rather than through market exchange. These notes were valid only within the collective's jurisdiction and worthless the moment Franco's forces arrived.
The tiny format reflects the extremely limited print runs typical of village-level collectives, most of which produced their scrip on whatever press was locally available. Survival rate is low simply because no one thought to preserve them.
