Comments

Calaceite is a small village in the Bajo Aragón, and like dozens of Aragonese municipalities it issued its own collectivized scrip after the anarcho-syndicalist CNT effectively took control of the local economy in the summer of 1936. These "enteros" — the term used in place of pesetas by some collectives — circulated within the collectivity's internal economy as a means of rationing goods and labor, not as a competing state currency. The Aragonese collectives were liquidated by force in August 1937 when communist-aligned Republican forces under Líster dissolved the Council of Aragon, rendering this scrip worthless almost immediately after issue.
