2.50 Pesetas Sangarrén

Sangarrén is a village in the province of Huesca, Aragon — population well under a thousand even in the 1930s. During the Spanish Civil War, anarchist collectivization swept through rural Aragon, and many of these micro-communities issued their own scrip when coinage disappeared from circulation entirely. These local emergency notes, known broadly as *moneda local de guerra*, were produced in conditions that were often improvised, and Sangarrén's issue is among the more obscure examples in the Aragonese series.

The 2.50 pesetas denomination is characteristically awkward — a value that only makes sense when small change has completely broken down.
