| Comments |
Crevillente's textile and espadrille cooperatives issued their own scrip during the Civil War because the Republic's central supply of small-denomination coinage had effectively collapsed by mid-1937, leaving local commerce paralyzed. This note is one of several denominations issued under the authority of these worker-run cooperatives — an arrangement that was simultaneously an emergency monetary measure and a reflection of the collectivized industrial structure that had taken hold in parts of the Valencian region under anarcho-syndicalist influence.
Printed by La Gráfica in nearby Elche, itself a center of espadrille manufacturing, the note circulated within a tight geographic and economic community where the issuing cooperatives were also the dominant employers.
