| Comments |
One of hundreds of local emergency issues that proliferated across Nationalist and Republican Spain during the Civil War, when the collapse of normal coin supply forced agricultural cooperatives, municipalities, and industrial syndicates alike to print their own fractional scrip. The Azucarera de Caniles was a sugar-beet processing facility in Granada province — deep in Nationalist-held territory by 1937 — and the Sindicato Nacional Azucarero issued these notes as wage tokens or internal exchange instruments for workers who had no access to conventional small change.
The rubber stamp and handwritten signatures are functional anti-counterfeiting measures, not decorative. In a rural wartime economy, they also served as a chain of personal accountability.
