| Comments |
Sariñena, a small town in Huesca province, fell within the Aragonese front during the Civil War, and by 1937 the collapse of small-denomination coinage circulation had forced hundreds of Spanish municipalities to print their own emergency notes. The Consejo Municipal issues from this region are among the more obscure — Sariñena's output was small, locally distributed, and never intended to travel far.
The Gari Montserrat cataloguing of Aragonese municipal paper remains the only serious reference for most of these issues, which tells you something about how little attention they receive outside specialist collections.
