| Comments |
One of hundreds of emergency local issues that flooded Republican-held Spain after the July 1936 uprising fractured normal commerce. The CNT-affiliated agricultural collectives in the Valencian region — Castellón province among the most active — printed their own scrip when coin disappeared from circulation almost overnight, hoarded or melted down by a population that had stopped trusting the immediate future. This note is a product of that vacuum: a collective of landworkers effectively running their own internal economy, with scrip redeemable only within the colectividad's own network.
The Gari reference is unassigned, which places this among the less-documented village and collective issues — catalogued but not yet fully reconciled against surviving specimens.
