Cap de Saso was a small agricultural cooperative in the Monegros region of Aragon. Like hundreds of similar collectives during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own paper scrip when the Republican government's currency supply broke down in 1936–37 — copper and small silver had vanished from circulation almost overnight, hoarded or simply absent in rural areas that had never seen much of it to begin with.
These cooperative vales were legal only within the issuing community's economy. Two pesetas would have covered a day's basic provisions.
