Lécera is a small Aragonese village that fell within the anarchist collective zone during the Spanish Civil War. The "Colectividad Libre" designation is not ceremonial — it reflects genuine libertarian communist administration under CNT-FAI influence, during which conventional money was theoretically abolished in favor of collective labor exchange. These local vouchers occupied an ideological contradiction: paper tokens issued by a movement that rejected currency, used to manage scarcity in a war economy where barter alone couldn't function.
Gari Mon #815-B distinguishes this from at least one other Lécera emission, suggesting the municipio issued more than one series during the brief anarchist period before Francoist forces retook the region in 1938.
