Comments

Almunia de Cinca is a small municipality in Huesca province, Aragon, and like dozens of similar villages during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own local emergency currency when the Republic's banking system effectively disintegrated after July 1936. The Colectividad designation matters: this was not issued by a municipal council but by a collectivized economic unit — almost certainly under anarcho-syndicalist CNT organization, which was dominant across rural Aragon during this period.

These hyper-local issues were redeemable only within the issuing community and had no validity elsewhere, which is precisely why so many survived — outsiders couldn't spend them and often simply kept them.
