Samper de Calanda is a small municipality in Teruel province, Aragon — one of hundreds of Republican-held towns that issued emergency paper fractional currency during the Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation by mid-1936. The Consejo Municipal designation reflects the wartime reorganization of local government under Republican and, in much of Aragon, anarcho-syndicalist influence. These hyper-local emissions were rarely accepted beyond the issuing town's immediate market, functioning more as scrip than currency in any modern sense.
Teruel changed hands violently in 1937–38. Most Samper de Calanda material was either destroyed, discarded as worthless, or simply lost.
