| Comments |
Aínsa is a small town in the Aragonese Pyrenees, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its revolutionary committee issued its own emergency fractional currency when coins vanished from circulation almost overnight after July 1936. The Comité Local Revolucionario designation places this firmly in the earliest phase of the conflict, before regional authorities began consolidating local emission under tighter control.
At 43 × 32 mm on thick card stock, these were essentially chits — produced locally, valid only within the issuing community, and frequently refused even a few kilometers away.
