Comments

Fabara is a small municipality in Aragon, and like dozens of other collectivized communities during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own local scrip when the Republican monetary system fragmented after July 1936. The "Renacer" — rebirth — in the issuer name signals the anarchist or socialist collectivization that had taken over the town's economic life, a common enough arrangement in rural Aragon under CNT influence.

Imprenta Litografía Sabadell y Cía. produced scrip for multiple Catalan and Aragonese collectives during this period, which accounts for a family resemblance across many Aragon issues. These local emissions were formally invalidated when Franco's forces consolidated control of the region in 1938.
