Sangarrén is a village in Huesca province, Aragon, with a population that rarely exceeded a few hundred souls. During the Spanish Civil War, hundreds of Aragonese municipalities issued their own emergency scrip under collectivist administration — CNT-affiliated communities in particular — to replace coinage that had vanished from circulation almost entirely by late 1936. This 1 Peseta note from the Colectividad de Sangarrén is one such piece: hyper-local, printed in tiny quantities, and designed to function only within the village economy.
Survival rates for these Aragonese collectivity issues are low. Many were deliberately destroyed after Franco's forces dissolved the collectives in August 1937.
