| Comments |
Conchel de Cinca is a small municipality in Huesca province, Aragon — precisely the region where anarchist collectivization ran deepest during the Spanish Civil War. The C.N.T.-F.A.I. abastecimientos committees (comisiones de abastos) managed food supply and local exchange within collectivized villages, and these local vouchers were the practical instrument of that economy. They were not legal tender in any national sense; they functioned only within the collective itself, redeemable for goods rather than currency.
Most were printed on whatever card stock was locally available, which is why thickness varies even within the same emission. Survival rates are low — these were expendable scrip, not saved documents.
