Tamarite de Litera is a small town in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities during the Civil War, its collectivized local economy issued its own emergency scrip when the Republic's banking system effectively ceased to function in the anarchist-controlled zones after July 1936. These collectivity notes were not legal tender in any national sense — they circulated only within the issuing community, accepted at local shops and cooperative enterprises under the CNT-FAO framework.
The Gari Montaner catalog remains the standard reference for this material, though attribution and survival numbers for Aragonese village issues are notoriously difficult to establish. Many were destroyed after the Nationalist takeover of Aragon in 1938.
