Candasnos is a small municipality in the province of Huesca, Aragon, and like dozens of other rural communities during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own local scrip when the Republic's central currency system broke down and coins vanished from circulation almost entirely by 1936–37. The Colectividad Libre de Candasnos was an anarchist collective, part of the CNT-FAO network that reorganized agricultural production across Aragon under collectivist principles — these notes functioned as internal currency, accepted only within the collective's economic circuit.
The Gari Monografía reference (432-F) places this firmly within the documented Aragonese local emissions, though survival rates for village-level scrip of this type are low. Many were deliberately withdrawn or destroyed when Franco's forces dissolved the Aragon collectives by decree in August 1937.
