Tamarite de Litera is a small town in the Aragonese province of Huesca, and this 1 Peseta note was issued by its local collectivity during the Spanish Civil War — one of thousands of emergency fractional issues that flooded Republican-controlled territory after the military uprising of July 1936 drained small coinage from circulation almost overnight. The CNT-aligned collectivities of Aragon were particularly prolific issuers, producing locally printed scrip that functioned within tightly bounded geographic areas, often accepted nowhere beyond the issuing municipality.
The thick card stock was a deliberate choice: it was harder to counterfeit than thin paper and survived repeated handling in village commerce better than flimsy alternatives.
